	The Next American Metropolis by Peter Calthorpe - A Book Review by Scott London
		Peter Calthorpe -- an innovative San Francisco-based architect, urban designer, land use planner and one of the leading proponents of what is being called the "New Urbanism" -- sets forth the principles of building good neighborhoods and communities.
		Calthorpe maintains that American cities have lost much of their soul in the postwar development of the suburbs.
		If we are to reinvest in America, Calthorpe insists, we must develop a new "aesthetic of place" that involves not merely a change of design philosophy but a host of very practical considerations -- from social impacts and economic sustainability to political implications and environmental limits.

	Land&People, Spring 2001, Thinking Regionally-- A Conversation with Peter Calthorpe: The Trust for Public Land
		In addition to planning and design work, his firm, Calthorpe Associates, works with communities to envision their future based on existing patterns of development -- process that can lead to big changes in how they choose to grow.
		TPL is involved with Calthorpe Associates in "Smart Growth Twin Cities," a renewed effort, funded in part by the McKnight Foundation, to bring integrated solutions of the problems of sprawl in the Minneapolis/St. Paul region.
		A regional perspective, Calthorpe argues, is central to designing communities that provide for conservation of land and wildlife, access to jobs and education, and opportunities for people to participate more equitably in civic life.

		Calthorpe, dubbed a few years back by Newsweek magazine as one of 25 ``innovators on the cutting edge'' for his pioneering work redefining the models of urban and suburban growth, said Bellevue was on the right track in its efforts to invigorate its downtown area by adding housing and entertainment/retail.
		Calthorpe, a former high school teacher, may come across as an academic, but he is willing to put his theories to the test.
		Bellevue architect El Baylis, who introduced Calthorpe at the BDA dinner, told his audience that he was planning to comment on how downtown Bellevue was becoming more pedestrian-friendly, but changed his mind earlier that day after seeing a pedestrian lying on the street who apparently had been hit by a car.

		But the realist in Peter Calthorpe, the dogged crusader trying to nudge America out of its land-chewing habits, looks at curved Crescent Drive and the snug row of nearby houses and sees a welcome step in the right direction.
		Calthorpe's unfamiliarity with his neighbors to the east is about to change.
		The challenge faced by Calthorpe is to apply his theories in a way that works and that appeals to skeptics.

	Insight & Outlook :: A Conversation with Peter Calthorpe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		As one of the leading proponents of New Urbanism or Neotraditionalism, Calthorpe has formulated a comprehensive design and planning philosophy aimed not only at curbing urban sprawl and reducing traffic congestion, but also creating more pedestrian-friendly and ecologically sound communities, environments that that promote a sense of connectedness and place.
		PETER CALTHORPE: My short and simple answer is that a well-designed city is walkable.
		CALTHORPE: I was working for the state of California in those days and we put a lot of energy into passing an energy-conservation building mandate, Title 24.

	Peter Calthorpe: The way cities oughta be
		In Portland, Ore., Calthorpe is devising a plan for the city to absorb a million more people without expanding its urban boundaries or sinking its economy.
		But Calthorpe still finds resistance from many developers who argue that they have to develop new land because it's too expensive to do "infill"--developing small pockets of land within existing developed areas.
		Of all places, it is the Philippines where Calthorpe has his biggest project using the planning philosophies of what has become known as "new urbanism." There, he is designing a new city for a half million people with a combination of government and private sector investment.

		Calthorpe sees the Texas 130 corridor as an expanse with vast potential — an almost blank canvas where streets, trails, businesses and town centers grow between the highway and an abandoned railroad, known as the MoKan line, that could be converted to a mass-transit route.
		Calthorpe was in Austin this month to discuss the connections between growth and transportation with Envision Central Texas, the region's pre-eminent planning organization.
		Peter Calthorpe: That whole corridor is the right place for growth.

	AIArchitect, June 2001 - New Urbanists Look to Regional Planning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The connectivity and diversity New Urbanism brings to neighborhoods—a concept long espoused by New Urbanism leaders Andres Duany, FAIA, and Peter Calthorpe, AIA—applies as well to regional planning, they told a jammed audience May 18 at the AIA national convention.
		Based on their regional planning work and studies across the country, Duany and Calthorpe outlined the Transect Concept (as the New Urbanism regional planning model is called), which sets a pattern for smart growth without suburban sprawl.
		Acting as a fractal, Calthorpe said, the concepts of connectivity and diversity can be applied to regional planning as well.

	Redesigning Palo Alto
		Calthorpe is one of the foremost proponents of a rediscovered planning philosophy known as "new urbanism" or "neo-traditionalist development," because it borrows heavily from neighborhood design patterns popular before World War II.
		Peter Calthorpe was born in England but raised in Palo Alto.
		One suggestion, which Calthorpe strongly advocated but drew skepticism from others, is narrowing El Camino from six to four lanes with a frontage road on the east side with diagonal parking and wider sidewalks.

		An architect and urban planner who has won international recognition for his people- and pedestrian-oriented concepts, such as "pocket parks," Calthorpe is outlining his ideas at an elongated hexagonal table inside the airy new office he designed inside a whitewashed cinderblock warehouse near the freeway in Berkeley.
		Calthorpe has been hired to conduct a $400,000 "Intermodal Transportation and Land Use Study" for the two neighboring counties that is being paid for with "Caltrans money that can only be used for studies," notes Petaluma Supervisor Jim Harberson.
		Calthorpe, however, is not forecasting such sweeping consequences from his work.

		Calthorpe: It's because we're...not going back in and repairing and recycling older neighborhoods in inner-city areas, or even older suburban areas.
		It's a kind of disposable society strategy to how you build cities -- basically you use them and then throw them away and move on to some virgin land.

	Land Planning
		With his firm's work and his most recent book, The Regional City, Calthorpe provides the framework for conceptualizing the regional city and making regional planning a reality, not just a model.
		When the big picture is examined, problem starters become problem solvers, and participants begin to realize and consider the long-term effects of their decisions.
		But Calthorpe recognizes that regional planning means little if the type and quality of communities can't support its strides.

	The Vent #365
		In The New American Metropolis (1993), Peter Calthorpe makes the pitch for a New Urbanism, which he has explained from time to time in terms like this:
		The Irony Meter will deflect slightly at the following revelation: to get that square (actually more of a trapezoid, technically) I'm leaving the ring of suburbia to move into the city, into a neighborhood where the vast majority of residences — there is one set of apartments — will be found on similar polygons.
		As Peter Calthorpe says, "Suburbs have always been for escaping." It probably never occurred to him that the road goes in two directions at once.

		Readers interested in environmental issues and urban development should hungrily consume Peter Calthorpe and William Fulton's innovative contribution, The Regional City: Planning for the End of Sprawl.
		Authors of The Next American Metropolis and The Reluctant Metropolis, respectively, Calthorpe and Fulton argue that the design of our current metropolitan regionsAinner cities surrounded by rings of isolated suburbs filled with malls and office parksAhas placed our remaining land at considerable risk and exacerbates the divide between the rich and the poor.
		In The Regional City, Calthorpe, a leader in the New Urbanism movement, and Fulton (The Reluctant Metropolis), president of Solimar Research Corp., take a more systemic approach to urban design than has been typical of New Urbanism, best known for creating planned communities.

		Combine land use and transportation decision-making because "the environment in which transit is operated is no less critical to its success than the quality of service that is offered."(3)

		It is a tangible response to the failed Modernist planning that has resulted in unchecked suburban sprawl, slavish dependence on the automobile, and the abandonment and decay of our cities.
		There's only one thing I have to critisize about it--it doesn't confront those opposed to New Urbanism concepts, and I believe that in order to be effective you must challenge the tired, old, and sometimes downright arrogant ideas of the opposition (mostly the same Urban Planners who got us into this whole Urban Sprawl Mess).
		Peter Calethorpe claims the application of urban design principles "regardless of location: in suburbs and new growth areas as well as within the city" is a "simple but unique contribution of this movement." City planning, however, has often applied suburban principles-such as buildings as islands in a sea of grass-in both cities and suburbs.
