"The Landscape Architecture Foundation has embarked on a noble mission to demonstrate design and planning's ties to the quality of human activity and to the natural environment. The [series] has an ambitious goal: to disseminate lessons learned from key projects and issues so that practitioners, governments, and the public may better protect natural resources, design landscapes, and foster sustainable communities. Presented in a highly illustrative format, the case studies serve as good educational primers for the public, and they will make good teaching tools.

"Village Homes: A Community by Design is a real gem, and it does contribute significantly to the already extensive body of literature about this landmark community in Davis, California. This is a great resource, and we look forward to future titles in the series."

"The books are richly illustrated, and provide concise treatments of their topics in a straightforward manner that will benefit a broad audience including policymakers, design and planning professionals, students, and educators."
