Rick Harrison writes at NewGeography.com and wrote a recent essay titled "Detroit: A Century On The Smart-Growth Grid."
His piece looks at how principles of smart growth-like planning failed Detroit over the past 100 years.
I hope I won't ruin it for you by alerting you to a most interesting twist of a report that proves Harrison's points.
He concludes, "The development process of trying to jam each and every unit allowed by a regulation's most minimal dimension in order to achieve the highest possible density pretty much guarantees that the development will fall into the very same traps that the report warned us about."
