Planetizen, the online journal and planning news aggregator, chose Visualizing Density for its Top 10 Books of 2008 (http://www.planetizen.com/books/2008) list based on editorial reviews, sales rankings, popularity, Planetizen reader nominations, number of references, recommendations from experts, and the book's potential impact on the urban planning, development and design professions.
Two other Lincoln Institute authors were included on the Planetizen list: Armando Carbonell, senior fellow and chair of the Department of Planning and Urban Form, for his contribution to Smart Growth in a Changing World (University of Chicago Press); and Patrick Condon, a visiting fellow at the Lincoln Institute, author of Design Charettes for Sustainable Communities (Island Press).
