UnSprawl Book Coming Soon

We are pleased to announce that Terrain.org has teamed with Planetizen Press to publish a book of updated Terrain.org UnSprawl case studies from across North America. The full-color book, written by Simmons Buntin and Ken Pirie with a foreword by a Planetizen editor, will include eleven updated case studies originally appearing in Terrain.org, plus add an additional project and new interviews and graphics. Publication is slated for winter 2011 or spring 2012.

Want to help us get the book published? In late July we'll launch a campaign using Kickstarter.com to raise funds for the travel and photography necessary to create this innovativeand important book. In exchange for your support, you'll receive exclusive project updates and more — ranging from Terrain.org stickers, to digital or print copies of the book, to limited edition photographs and on-site tours.

Look for additional information in mid-July. Until then, check out the newest UnSprawl case study: Rockville Town Square.
