Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Edgeless cities are a sprawling form of development that accounts for the bulk of office space found outside of downtowns. Every major metropolitan area has them: vast swaths of isolated buildings that are neither pedestrian friendly, nor easily accessible by public transit, and do not lend themselves to mixed use. While critics of urban sprawl tend to focus on the social impact of ""edge cities""--developments that combine large-scale office parks with major retail and housing--edgeless cities, despite their ubiquity, are difficult to define or even locate. While they stay under the radar of critics, they represent a significant departure in the way American cities are built and are very likely the harbingers of a suburban future almost no one has anticipated. Edgeless Cities explores America''s new metropolitan form by examining the growth and spatial structure of suburban office space across the nation. Inspired by Myron Orfield''s groundbreaking Metropolitics (Brookings, 1997), Robert Lang uses data, illustrations, maps, and photos to delineate between two types of suburban office development--bounded and edgeless. The book covers the evolving geography of rental office space in thirteen of the country''s largest markets, which together contain more than 2.6 billion square feet of office space and 26,000 buildings: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington. Lang discusses how edgeless cities differ from traditional office areas. He also provides an overview of national, regional, and metropolitan office markets, covers ways to map and measure them, and discusses the challenges urban policymakers and practitioners will face as this new suburban form continues to spread. Until now, edgeless cities have been the unstudied phenomena of the new metropolis. Lang''s conceptual approach reframes the current thinking on suburban sprawl and provides a valuable resource forustrations, maps, and photos to delineate between two types of suburban office development--bounded and edgeless.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. The item may have been opened and read, but it has no defects. With an expected population of 400 million by 2040, America is morphing into an economic system composed of twenty-three 'megapolitan' areas that will dominate the nation's economy by midcentury. These 'megapolitan' areas are networks of metropolitan areas sharing common economic, landscape, social, and cultural characteristics. The rise of 'megapolitan' areas will change how America plans. With only eighteen percent of the contiguous forty-eight states' land base, America's megapolitan areas are more densely settled than Europe as a whole or the United Kingdom. This book goes into spectacular demographic, economic, and social detail in mapping the dramatic - and surprisingly optimistic - shifts ahead. It will be required reading for those interested in America's future. Inscribed by Arthur C. Nelson (as 'Chris) on the flyleaf. Copyright © American Planning Association Planners Press.…

Straight uncreased spine. -- An innovative exploration of America's urban and regional landscapes, proposing a fresh framework for understanding the complexity and dynamics of metropolitan development in the 21st century. The book introduces the concept of "Megapolitan America," which redefines traditional notions of metropolitan areas by focusing on larger, interconnected regions known as "megaregions." These areas, which often span multiple states and incorporate various urban, suburban, and rural zones, are characterized by shared economic interests, transportation networks, and cultural ties. The book argues that recognizing these regions as the fundamental building blocks of America's urban future is crucial for effective planning and policy-making. Key Themes and Topics: - The emergence and significance of megaregions in contemporary American geography; - Analysis of demographic, economic, and social trends driving metropolitan growth and transformation; - The role of urban planning and policy in shaping sustainable, resilient, and inclusive metropolitan areas; - Challenges and opportunities associated with managing urban sprawl, transportation networks, and infrastructure in megaregions; - Case studies of major American megaregions, including their unique characteristics and development trajectories. "Megapolitan America" delves into the implications of this new geographic framework for urban planners, policymakers, and scholars. It provides a comprehensive overview of the factors influencing the growth and evolution of America's metropolitan landscapes, from population dynamics and economic restructuring to environmental sustainability and governance challenges. By adopting a megaregional perspective, the book offers valuable insights into the complexities of urbanization in the United States and underscores the need for innovative approaches to regional planning and development. It calls for a shift from fragmented, city-centric planning strategies to more integrated, regional approaches that reflect the realities of contemporary metropolitan life. The book is a must-read for urban planners, geographers, sociologists, economists, and anyone interested in the future of America's cities and metropolitan regions. It provides a compelling vision for a more connected, prosperous, and sustainable urban future, making it an essential resource for understanding the challenges and opportunities facing America's rapidly changing urban landscapes.…
