Issue 02: The changing neighborhood
June 2003
The five stories in this issue range from discussing inner-city gentrification to rapidly changing suburbs to an intriguing small town that has been reborn as a Bavarian village. Within these stories is one common thread. Neighborhoods today, like it or not, have a far tougher time managing their destinies by themselves than in decades past. This change is not all doom and gloom; some traps of the past have disintegrated and people have been given a larger freedom of choice.
