The general aim of this book is to afford those interested in site planning and design, whether they are students, teachers, practitioners, or public-agency planners, a graphic reference of current standards, design details, analytical methods, and design procedures. Most of the current literature on the subject is in written form. Since the book is meant to be a supplement to the theoretical and critical writings, emphasis is placed on a graphical and pictorial presentation. Textual material is included only where clarity or exposition of the graphics is served.
