How can aging inner-ring suburbs remain vital and attract
investment from private developers? This book describes the
strategies and solutions employed by ten inner-ring suburbs? some
experiencing significant redevelopment, and others striving to
attract redevelopment. The case studies shed light on what is
happening and why; what can be done better; the role of the public
sector; incentives the public sector has utilized; what piques the
interest of private developers; and what can be done to improve the
quality and pace of redevelopment. The case studies describe the
demographic, locational, and economic characteristics of each
suburb, the degree of public involvement, neighborhood opposition,
and private development activity.
New towns—large, comprehensively planned developments on newly
urbanized land—boast a mix of spaces that, in their ideal form,
provide opportunities for all of the activities of daily life. From
garden cities to science cities, new capitals to large military
facilities, hundreds were built in the twentieth century and their
approaches to planning and development were influential far beyond
the new towns themselves. Although new towns are notoriously
difficult to execute and their popularity has waxed and waned,
major new town initiatives are increasing around the globe, notably
in East Asia, South Asia, and Africa. New Towns for the
Twenty-First Century considers the ideals behind new-town
development, the practice of building them, and their outcomes. A
roster of international and interdisciplinary contributors examines
their design, planning, finances, management, governance, quality
of life, and sustainability. Case studies provide histories of new
towns in the United States, Asia, Africa, and Europe and impart
lessons learned from practitioners. The volume identifies
opportunities afforded by new towns for confronting future
challenges related to climate change, urban population growth,
affordable housing, economic development, and quality of life.
Featuring inventories of classic new towns, twentieth-century new
towns with populations over 30,000, and twenty-first-century new
towns, the volume is a valuable resource for governments, policy
makers, and real estate developers as well as planners, designers,
and educators. Contributors: Sandy Apgar, Sai Balakrishnan, JaapJan
