- Summary
- "Neither fully urban nor completely suburban, America's older, inner-ring, "first" suburbs have a unique set of challenges--such as concentrations of elderly and immigrant populations as well as outmoded housing and commercial buildings--very different from those of the center city and fast growing newer places. Yet first suburbs exist in a policy blindspot with little in the way of state or federal tools to help them adapt to their new realities and secure a role as competititve and quality communities. This paper defines first suburbs throughout the nation, examines their similarities and differences, and, finally, sets out a policy agenda tailored specifically to these distinctive places" -- p.1.
