- Summary:
- Smart growth and its role in future planning and development remain confusing to many, including decision makers in the public arena who represent citizens hungry for strong policy, planning, and design solutions. The essays in this book cover the history of suburban growth, consequences of current growth and technological change, assumptions about design, urban and suburban neglect and revival, property rights, and environmental ethics.
