Regenerating Older Suburbs

How can aging inner-ring suburbs remain vital and attract investment from private developers? Regenerating Older Suburbs from the Urban Land Institute (ULI) describes the strategies and solutions employed by ten inner-ring suburbs--some experiencing significant redevelopment, and others striving to attract redevelopment. Through essays and case studies, the book sheds light on what is happening and why; what can be done better; the role of the public sector; incentives the public sector has utilized; what piques the interest of private developers; and what can be done to improve the quality and pace of redevelopment. The case studies describe the demographic, locational, and economic characteristics of each suburb, the degree of public involvement, neighborhood opposition, and private development activity.
