dissertation idea

[angledge]

A LJ member from philadelphia just gave me a pretty cool dissertation idea: studying reverse sprawl, which is what he called the growing trend of building suburban-style developments within the city. Any input on this idea?

I think was suburbanization of the city meant was more a reference to the density of redevelopment in a city, not just the fact that redevelopment occurs. I.e., it's OK if they build a community center, as long as they build it in a intense-use fashion - so no big parking lots, preferably more than one floor, etc. The idea is that you have to keep land-use density in a city high.

Ah, I see. That could be interesting to look into.
