After looking over his extensive library of books on urbanism, Brent Toderian chose the 100 best books that he's collected and read over the years. The New Transit Town: Best Practices in Transit-Oriented Development was #68 on his list, which included books by such renown urbanist-authors as Jane Jacobs, William H. Whyte, Robert Caro, Frederick Law Olmstead, Richard Florida, Christopher Leinberger, and Peter Calthorpe. Written in 2004 and published by Island Press, the book includes chapters on best practices in zoning, financing, traffic and parking, "The Transit-Oriented Drama and its Actors," and case studies on the Rosslyn Ballston Corridor just outside Washington DC, Mockingbird Station and Addison Circle in Dallas, Lindbergh City Center in Atlanta, Ohlone-Chynoweth Station in San Jose, and the Barrio Logan/Mercado project in San Diego. Authors included Gloria and Hank, Shelley Poticha, Scott Bernstein and several other TOD experts.
