Title: Not for Practical Purposes
Product review: I was hoping that this book would offer insights into the fiscal impact of development on municipalities. It doesn't. This book uses national level data to estimate the costs associated with urban expansion versus urban containment. This is an important aspect of regional sprawl, but it ignores the financial cost implications of different types of development forms. There is no discussion of how municipal costs vary with different residential densities or by land use category.
