Could the drastic declines in housing markets have been avoided? Yes, if we reframe our housing values. Do you want to attract corporate investment to your town? You might want to think twice about doing so. The extinction of the \"Celtic Tiger\" may be charted in statistics, but the response in popular Irish mystery novels is much more compelling. China, while not immune to market vicissitudes, still booms, but at a considerable cost to its urban identities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether constructing a sustainable social framework for Mexican mega-cities or a neighborhood in London, these nine essays consider some strikingly similar strategies. And perhaps, as the contributors suggest, it's time to look beyond the usual boundaries of urban, suburban, and exurban to forge new links among these communities that will benefit all citizens. Accessible to anyone with an interest in how cities cope today, \u003ci\u003eSustaining Cities\u003c\/i\u003e presents a cautionary tale with a hopeful ending.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda Krause\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813554160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813554167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.56d","brand":"Linda Krause","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425074954495,"sku":"9780813554167","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7168f188-4991-427e-a5ba-916dab86c5a7.jpg?v=1761536836","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sustaining-cities-linda-krause-9780813554167","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
