Urban and suburban growth is a burning local issue for communities
across the United States and many other parts of the world.
Concerns include protecting habitats, high costs of infrastructure,
social inequalities, traffic congestion and more intangible worries
about "quality of life." Citizens pressure public officials to
intensify development regulations, flying in the face of local
"growth machines." Builders and growth boosters oppose regulation
as unfair and bad for local economies. Based on a systematic
comparative study of urban areas in Southern California, this book
provides a much-needed examination of the true impacts of local
development controls, including the ways that they have and have
not made a difference. The authors draw general implications for
communities elsewhere and how to better understand theories of
growth and urban governance.
