As traditional rural industries like frarming, forestry and mining give way to residential and commercial development, the land at the edges of the developed areas - the rural-urban fringe - is becoming the middle landscape between the city and the countryside that the suburbs once were. To date, this rural-urban fringe has been largely ignored in national policy debates. This book highlights the importance and relevance of population and economic growth, environmental quality and competitiveness in the global economy - and examines the implications for accommodating population and economic growth at a regional and not merely local level. The text is intended as a resource for planners, policy-makers and all those looking to the future of fringe areas.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A thoughtful analysis of sprawl issues,
This review is from: When City and Country Collide: Managing Growth In The Metropolitan Fringe (Paperback)
I found this book to be a thorough and thoughtful analysis of suburban sprawl issues in America. Daniels is a fluid writer, and his work is very accessible. He is careful to identify terms that are relevent to a comprehensive understanding of sprawl, and does not promote ridiculous, hard-core left dramatic changes as the only solution. However, I would appreciate more perspective on what the actual housing needs of Americans are; he leaps to the conclusion (like so many) that sprawl is caused by the wealthiest citizens. Where, then, do the (dwindling) working and middle classes live? Do they not require homes and services?
