Financial Geography of Community Development, 2nd Edition: Applied Geography for Local Governmental Planners and Finance Officials
No Customer Reviews
The Financial Geography of Community Development provides an uncommon perspective on managing community development and local governmental finance. It examines the role of public finance in the management of community development from a geographical point of view. Among the insights suggested by this book include; the "sprawl" in urban sprawl should be treated as more as a verb than a noun, the price of public facilities is disconnected to their costs creating land use inefficiencies, effective planning is a delicate balance between prescription and prediction, public finance is a more powerful tool for shaping urban forms than zoning, fiscal capacities and hence the capacity to manage community development varies widely between communities, in community development there are no silver bullets and the answer to most issues is "it depends," the burden of maintaining public facilities constrains our ability to afford new facilities, and expecting developers to help finance public facilities is not new. This edition updates the previous edition with more recent data and edits.
