Summary:

"Now available in English in an updated version, The Urban Village introduces the concept of self-sustainable local development, based on each locality's territorial specificities and traditions. After exploring the significance of local development in all its political, social and technical dimensions, Professor Magnaghi sets out a concrete vision for a new urban regional 'utopia'."--Jacket.
