In the year 2018, the NIMBY wars
ROBERT STEUTEVILLE JAN. 1, 2001
In the year 2018, the NIMBY wars are over, consumers have learned to recognize the difference between hybrid new urbanist developments and the real thing, and typological coding has replaced conventional zoning. These and other hopeful predictions are found in Peter Katz’s article “The New Urbanism in the New Millennium: A Postcard from the Future,” published in the Urban Land Institute’s ULI on the Future: Cities in the 21st Century. Katz offers a best-case scenario for the future of real estate development, based on the trends and technologies that are already prominent today. The publication also includes articles by Robert Fishman and Alex Krieger. Contact: www.uli.org.
