Issue 01: The Future of Smart Growth
February 2003
From the malls of Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley to the long-beleaguered east side of Cleveland, to the endless suburbs that now reach more than an hour beyond downtown Atlanta, American cities are changing. This issue focuses on Smart Growth: its future and why it is so hard. The smart growth articles include the significance in third world cities, downtown Los Angeles, and on the world trade center site. The issue also discusses suburban havens, labor in Baltimore, and includes a review of Richard Florida’s The Rise of the Creative Class.
