Confronting Suburban Decline: Strategic Planning for Metropolitan RenewalIsland Press, 2000 - 321 pages William H. Lucy and David L. Phillips examine conditions and trends in cities and suburbs since 1960, arguing that beginning in the 1980s, the United States entered a "post-suburban" era of declining suburbs with maturation of communities accompanied by large-scale deterioration. Making the case that a high-quality natural and built environment is key to achieving economic stability, the authors set forth a series of policy recommendations with federal, state, regional, and local dimensions that can help contribute to that goal. Planners and policymakers as well as students and researchers involved with issues of land use, economic development, regional planning, community development, or inter-governmental relations will find this book a valuable resource. |
