Book Synopsis Planning Small Town America by : Kristina Ford
Download or read book Planning Small Town America written by Kristina Ford. This book was released on 1990. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning just isn't working in many towns. When citizens fight development in built-up areas, it's too easy to shift to the less efficient urban frontier at the edge of town or beyond. Elected officials seldom realize the full cost of allowing haphazard growth. Planners need tools that clearly show elected officals the expense of servicing scattered development. This book proposes using committed land analysis to confront these problems. This easy-to-use technique encourages growth in areas already served by infrastructure, makes clear the cost of public services connected to land development, and helps guide development. ?Planning Small Town America ? shows planners how to use committed lands analysis to convince developers and elected officals that guided growth can result in public assets being used more efficiently. Ford includes a fascinating explanation of how small town planning is supposed to work-and how it often goes awry. She discusses the decision-making and planning tools that guideland use, as well as how public and private interests affect local planning. The book concludes with a nuts-and-bolts essay on ways to make planning more productive. It includes practical advice on how to work effectively in a small community-how to enlist public sentiment for planning and build support from elected officials.

Book Synopsis Crabgrass Frontier by : Kenneth T. Jackson
Download or read book Crabgrass Frontier written by Kenneth T. Jackson. This book was released on 1987-04-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first full-scale history of the development of the American suburb examines how "the good life" in America came to be equated with the a home of one's own surrounded by a grassy yard and located far from the urban workplace. Integrating social history with economic and architectural analysis, and taking into account such factors as the availability of cheap land, inexpensive building methods, and rapid transportation, Kenneth Jackson chronicles the phenomenal growth of the American suburb from the middle of the 19th century to the present day. He treats communities in every section of the U.S. and compares American residential patterns with those of Japan and Europe. In conclusion, Jackson offers a controversial prediction: that the future of residential deconcentration will be very different from its past in both the U.S. and Europe.
