Common Place is about how we can develop community and create convivial and sustainable places in the face of disjointed and fast-paced growth. It offers strategies for reclaiming and repairing our neighborhoods and cities, which today are increasingly dominated by fear and disintegration and the automobile. Kelbaugh looks at New Urbanism, Urban Villages, Pedestrian Pockets, and Transit-Oriented Development — concepts which he helped pioneer. Bridging academic theory and on-the-ground practice, Common Place is an indispensable book for designers, planners, city officials, developers, environmentalists, and citizens interested in understanding and shaping the American metropolis.

"A welcome addition to the literature on the creation of sustainable, diverse, and coherent communities. . . . [the book] deserves a much wider audience of planners, architects, landscape architects, engineers, public officials, developers, and citizens concerned with growth management, regional planning, transportation, and neighborhood revitlization."(Journal of the American Planning Association) "Many of the book's ideas have already been influential in the Seattle area. For designers and planners elsewhere, Common Place represents a valuable contribution towards development of a sustainable design vision."- Stephen Wheeler (The Urban Ecologist)
