Reshaping Metropolitan America: Development Trends and Opportunities to 2030

Abstract

This book provides statistics about changes in population, housing, jobs, nonresidential space, and other key factors to shaping the built environment. Contemporary development trends are analyzed and shifts that will affect metropolitan areas in the coming years are identified. The ways in which redevelopment can meet new and emerging market demands by creating more compact, walkable, and enjoyable communities are shown. A policy agenda for reshaping America that meets the new market demand for sustainable places is outlined.
