Naomi B. (tripleguess) reviewed Pocket Neighborhoods: Creating Small-Scale Community in a Large-Scale World on + 48 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 1
The text is disappointingly bland, but I found the concept of pocket neighborhoods -- and perhaps more so, the idea of "connectedness" they are intended to achieve -- deeply exciting.
I would have liked to have "then and now" stories of each of the communities, ideas of what the daily life is like. Flavorless quotes from a few residents aren't enough. The book pretty much gives each community a section and that's that.
Would love to see more passionate book on the subject -- with more photos, please. =)
