Summary:

"A former mayor and a leading urban expert, author Bill Hudnut makes the case that America must wake up to the fact that post-World War II growth patterns are unsustainable, and that if the nation is to remain competitive in an increasingly global economy, we must plan and grow in new ways that make more efficient use of our resources." "Hudnut views the convergence of global warming, peak oil, infrastructure deterioration, and unsustainable land use patterns as cause for a change in where we live, shop, work, and play. He tackles the challenges and presents solutions for thorny issues related to regionalism, transportation, infrastructure, energy and climate change, housing, retail uses, and sustainability."--Jacket.
