Ideal for empty nesters, single households, and families alike, these neighborhoods offer the warmth of a close-knit community just beyond your front door.\nJoin the movement toward creating meaningful, livable communities that prioritize connection and quality of life. With Pocket Neighborhoods, you'll find inspiration and practical ideas to foster a sense of belonging in an increasingly disconnected world.\n\nKey Features: Inspirational Stories: Discover real-life accounts from residents and the visionary architects, planners, and developers who brought these neighborhoods to life. Historical Context: Chapin outlines the evolution of community living and the American Dream, shedding light on the shift from smaller, connected spaces to oversized houses. Diverse Neighborhood Models: Explore a variety of contemporary pocket neighborhoods, including New Urban communities, eco-neighborhoods, affordable housing, and houseboat communities. Cohousing Insights: Learn about the history and benefits of cohousing communities, from their Danish origins to successful examples across the globe, including senior cohousing. Retrofitting Solutions: The book offers strategies for integrating pocket neighborhoods into existing communities, making it a valuable resource for urban planners and residents alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781600851070\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e new-Nov09usbook-2017-c101656\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taunton Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51757722534189,"sku":"FBA_N_AM_9540","price":21.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5853\/5981\/files\/81TciodyzBL.jpg?v=1768497778","url":"https:\/\/silkroadstore.us\/products\/pocket-neighborhoods-creating-small-scale-community-in-a-large-scale-world","provider":"Silk Road Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
