- Summary:
- Themselves deeply committed to strong land use regulation and protection against uncontrolled growth, Walker (geography and environmental studies, U. of Oregon) and Hurley (environmental studies, Ursinus College, Pennsylvania) nevertheless are often critical of Oregon's pioneering and bitterly controversial land planning, often on the basis that it neglects the social equity dimension. Among their perspectives are planning for growth, falling star, Metro vision, central destinations, and southern discomforts. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
