Riassunto

Why are Denver and Houston floundering? Yet down­town Chicago is holding its own and Manhattan is the hottest real estate market in the country? Is frost com­ing to the Sunbelt? Where are the new markets? What does Hi-Tech really mean to development? Is American industry doomed to follow England?The baker's dozen of essays in this new book provides an unparalleled range of insight and hard-nosed answers. They range from housing to the central city; from job prospects to the impact of technology on retailing. The stress is on the big picture of changes in demography, the economy, and government. But it is geared to provide practical answers for the tough questions of where we are going-and how to understand the processes which are shaping the future.The book starts with Housing:1.
