Review:

"Ever try to create a mixed-use development? Do not try it without first reading Place Making: Developing Town Centers, Main Streets and Urban Villages by Charles C. Bohl. This excellently researched book describes the state of the art of mixed-use, place-creating developments. The case studies are particularly valuable...The book seamlessly serves a variety of audiences: developers, planners, designers, and general readers interested in urban places."  [Source: Review by Douglas Farr, Journal of the American Planning Association, Winter 2004, Vol 70, No. 1.]
