A brief is a short version of a case study.

Belmar, a 22-block downtown in the making, exempliﬁes the potential for transforming post–World War II bedroom suburbs into more diverse, compact, sustainable, pedestrian-oriented, and transit-oriented communities. When completed, it promises to be a model for the redeﬁnition of suburban communities that have been buffeted by inexorable growth over the past several decades.
