Changing world, changing cities -- Canada and the United States: similar yet different -- differences in livability and sustainability -- Differences in urban form and transportation systems -- Organizing government: powers, boundaries, and governance systems -- Urban connectivity: integrated transportation planning -- Social policy and a more inclusive society -- Vibrant, diverse central cities -- Growing sustainable suburbs -- Learning from Canada: conclusion and recommendations.
In this book the authors examine U.S. policy in the light of the Canadian experience, and use that experience as a starting point to generate specific policy recommendations. Their recommendations are designed to help the U.S. further its urban revival, build more walkable, energy-efficient communities, and in particular, help land use adapt better to the needs of the aging population.--Publisher's description.
