Description
INTRODUCTION In The Promise and Perils of "New Regionalist" Approaches to Sustainable Communities, Professor Lisa Alexander provides a timely assessment of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's new Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program ("the Program"). (1) This fledgling Program harkens back to an era from the 1950s through the 1970s when the federal government funded regional planning and coordination. (2) As Professor Alexander notes, however, the Program is novel in the sophistication of its goals--particularly around sustainability and regional equity--and in the explicitly bottom-up experimentalist frame it adopts. (3) Indeed, the Program's promise can be found largely in what Professor Alexander identifies as its "new governance" elements--namely, its broadly collaborative, devolutionary design. (4)
