Seminar speeches given by Manuel Pastor:Covering Urban Growth: The reshaping of our cities and suburbsOctober 24, 2001 The Ascending Suburbs? The citified or urban suburb though resistant, is invariably becoming more dense and for some a more livable environment. All the economic functions that were once in cities are now in the suburbs, as well as traffic congestion, inadequate transit systems, loss of open space, sky-rocketing housing costs, and pollution. Is Regional Planning or Other Forms of Central Planning the Solution? Coordinating transit, housing and jobs is often held out as the solution to haywire growth patterns. What does the future portend for regional solutions, government cooperation, regional guidelines for growth and limits on development. The experts discuss the limitations and hopes of regionalism.
