University-based property development is an important element of urban formation. Yet there is little information available to explain the significance of the university presence in urban development and enhance the state of the practice. Integrating topics in urban development, real estate, higher education administration, urban design, and campus landscape architecture, this is the first book to explore the role of the university as developer. Accessible and clearly written, and including contributions from authorities in a wide range of related areas, it offers a rich array of case studies and analyses that clarify the important roles that universities play in the growth and development of cities. The cases describe a host of university practices, community responses, and policy initiatives surrounding university real estate development. Through a careful blending of academic analysis and practical, hands-on administrative and political information, the book charts new ground in the study of the university and the city.

Suburban Sprawl - Private Decisions and Public Policy (Hardcover): Wim Wiewel, Joseph J. Persky Suburban Sprawl - Private Decisions and Public Policy (Hardcover)
Wim Wiewel, Joseph J. Persky
R3,877 Discovery Miles 38 770 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Suburban Sprawl combines historical, political, economic, geographic, and urban planning analysis to provide the most comprehensive overview of why and how urban sprawl occurs. It shows that all previous attempts to pin the blame on one or two causes - "highway building" or "consumer preferences" - totally miss the complex and interwoven character of public policy and private interests in creating today's urban form. The authors have included the detailed analyses of expenditures which show that federal housing subsidies have contributed significantly to sprawl in the post-war period, as well as a comprehensive overview of policies that can be used to reduce sprawl or reduce its negative consequences. This book will inform the growing policy community involved in regionalism and the general urban policy community. It can also be assigned in undergraduate and graduate level classes in urban sociology, geography, urban politics, and urban planning.

When Corporations Leave Town - The Costs and Benefits of Metropolitan Job Sprawl (Paperback): Joseph J. Persky, Wim Wiewel When Corporations Leave Town - The Costs and Benefits of Metropolitan Job Sprawl (Paperback)
Joseph J. Persky, Wim Wiewel
R779 Discovery Miles 7 790 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

New suburban communities have sprung up all over America, while industrial plants and other commercial districts in the inner city have been left to decay. Nowhere is this more evident than the midwestern United States, where newly formed communities have funneled jobs and income from the inner city. Generally known as sprawl, the problem is particularly acute in those metropolitan areas where deconcentration is taking place -- decline in the central city coupled with suburban growth. This process creates benefits in the suburbs, but also increasingly poses costs in the form of congestion and growing infrastructure costs. When Corporations Leave Town develops a consistent and comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of employment deconcentration, focusing on central cities and their suburbs.

Sprawl and deconcentration have become big issues in Vice President Albert Gore's presidential campaign, and are the subject of a growing number of policy initiatives, conferences, and research by organizations such as the Urban Land Institute, the National Homebuilders Association, and the Brookings Institute. Joseph Persky and Wim Wiewel compare the costs and benefits of a firm's locating in the central city with locating in the suburbs. They use a hypothetical model of a large manufacturing plant and a business services office in the Chicago metropolitan area to calculate tangible and intangible costs such as population and traffic congestion, air pollution, housing abandonment, loss of farmland, tax liabilities, and the strain put on suburban public resources. Wiewel and Persky then explore a broad range of public policies advocated for reversing or mitigating metropolitan deconcentration.

WhenCorporations Leave Town presents new and challenging arguments and solutions surrounding the current political debates about deconcentration. This book will interest policy analysts and students and scholars of urban studies, urban economics, urban geography, and regional planning.
