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.

Smart book on smart growth,
By A Customer
This review is from: Smart Growth: Form and Consequences (Paperback)
As we hear more and more about "smart growth," it's great to have a book like this, which takes a broad and intelligent look at the topic. The essays in this balanced collection provide a useful history of suburbia and sprawl, analyze how smart growth is defined and used today by various parties, and discuss the future of not only suburban growth but also core city development. It's fascinating--I would recommend it not only to planners and professionals, but to anyone concerned with how our communities grow.
