Community Livability: Issues and Approaches to Sustaining the Well-Being of People and Communities explores what it means to create a livable community through a blend of theoretical insights and practical applications. Edited by Fritz Wagner, this second edition delves into diverse perspectives from international, state, and local contexts, offering readers an expansive understanding of the term “livable communities.” New chapters contribute fresh insights on critical factors shaping these communities, such as transportation options for the elderly, walkability’s role in fostering health, the significance of open spaces for human activity and well-being, and the importance of integrated land use and transportation planning. Additionally, this edition includes case studies from various countries like the USA, Canada, Australia, Peru, Sweden, South Korea, Japan, and Austria, providing real-world examples of how livable communities are cultivated at different levels.
