Shifting Suburbs: Reinventing Infrastructure for Compact Development
As American suburbs build in more compact ways, reworking or rethinking infrastructure can be essential. For compact development to occur, developers and municipalities must determine how to plan, fund, and finance the often costly and complicated infrastructure required for suburban compact growth. What works and does not work in suburban redevelopment, what is happening nationwide, and where American suburbs are heading is explored. Case studies are provided that highlight the infrastructure aspects of eight redevelopment efforts from across the country. Infrastructure is looked at in the context of the development project. It examines the infrastructure that was built and how that infrastructure was paid for, in an effort to illuminate the shape that infrastructure investments are taking and the tools being used to fund and finance them.
