American Metropolitics: Social Separation and Sprawl by Myron Orfield,

American Metropolitics: Social Separation and Sprawl by Myron Orfield,
In 1998, Myron Orfield introduced a revolutionary program for combating the seemingly inevitable decline of America's metropolitan communities. Through a combination of demographic research, state-of-the-art mapping, and resourceful, pragmatic politics, his groundbreaking book, Metropolitics, revealed how the different regions of St. Paul and Minneapolis pulled together to create a regional government powerful enough to tackle the community's problems of sprawl and urban decay.Orfield's new work, American Metropolitics, applies the next generation of cutting-edge research on a much broader scale. The book provides an eye-opening analysis of the economic, racial, environmental, and political trends of the 25 largest metropolitan regions in the United States -- which contain more than 45 percent of the U.S. population. Using detailed maps and case studies, Orfield demonstrates that growing social separation and wasteful sprawling development patterns are harming regional citizens wherever they live. The first section of the book, "Metropatterns, " illustrates a common pattern of growing social separation and wasteful sprawling development throughout the country -- a condition that limits opportunity for the poor (particularly people of color), diminishes the quality of life for most Americans, and threatens our fragile environment. It also shows how these patterns reveal the existence of three types of suburban communities -- those at risk of social and economic decline, those struggling to pay for rapid growth, and a very small number of places that enjoy the benefits of economic growth with few social costs. Ironically, this last group is often the center of the movement against sprawl."Metropolicy, " the second section, analyzes past policies and programs that have attempted -- and failed -- to address the challenges of concentrated poverty, sprawl, and inequitable distribution of resources.

The Hidden Costs of Coastal Hazards: Implications for Risk Assessment and Mitigation by H John Heinz III Center for Science Econ,
The Hidden Costs of Coastal Hazards: Implications for Risk Assessment and Mitigation by H John Heinz III Center for Science Econ,
The H. John Heinz III Center recently brought together a panel of experts to help develop new strategies to identify and reduce the costs of weather-related hazards associated with coastal development. The Hidden Costs of Coastal Hazards presents the panel's findings, offering the in-depth study that considers the costs of coastal hazards to natural resources, social institutions, business, and the built environment. Policymakers and planners interested in coastal hazard issues will find the book a unique source of new information and insight, as will private-sector decisionmakers including lenders, investors, developers, and insurers of coastal property.
