Sommario/riassunto

Many growth management ideas conflict with planning traditions in the USA, historically dominated by the concerns of the market, the landowner and the developer. Illustrated by a study of the San Francisco Bay Area, this book puts forward an innovative theoretical approach to growth management, analyzing it as a tool for controlling land use expansion in the US.
