People versus Places: The Dream will Never Die

Author

  • Robert C. Wood

    (Wesleyan University)

Abstract

In the 1980s scholarly and popular commentary alike dismissed national urban policy, concluding it was both infeasible and undesirable. But concern over the quality of life in places did not disappear and the present degree of distress in major American cities dictates public intervention once again. This time land use and land management will be the prime focus, and the states will be the key actors — but federal support and federal leverage remain essential to build metropolitan communities acceptable to Americans.
