This title was first published in 2000. Encouraging, even
requiring, higher density urban development is a major policy in
the European Community and of Agenda 21, and a central principle of
growth management programmes used by cities around the world. This
work takes a critical look at a number of claims made by proponents
of this initiative, seeking to answer whether indeed this strategy
controls the spread of urban suburbs into open lands, is acceptable
to residents, reduces trip lengths and encourages use of public
transit, improves efficiency in providing urban infrastructure and
services, and results in environmental improvements supporting
higher quality of life in cities.
