Although focused on urban design, the book "Time Saver Standards for Urban
Design," McGraw Hill, 2001 is very useful. The book intends to provide
"the knowledge base and shared values, principles, and practices that
define the discipline of urban design." It features classic essays and
texts written by experts in each area (ranging from "new urbanism to
pedestrian zones, boulevards, traffic calming, or case studies in urban
design). In addition to these texts, written by experts in the field, each
entry includes an abstract and references for additional reading. I
recommend it often, and find it's often "missing" from its reference
location, so I know it's frequently used.
