Anthony Flint [bio], a 20-year journalist and author at the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, a think-tank based in Cambridge, Mass., writes about cities and the built environment. A former reporter for The Boston Globe, Loeb Fellow, and visiting scholar at Harvard Design School, and policy adviser in Massachusetts state government, he is author of This Land: The Battle over Sprawl and the Future of America, a cultural and political analysis of the smart growth movement that the Library Journal called "engaging, vivid and provocative." His next book, Wrestling with Moses, a narrative nonfiction account of the clash of Jane Jacobs and Robert Moses in New York City in the 1950s and 60s, will be published by Random House. He lectures nationwide on urbanism and trends in land and living, in the coming post-cheap oil, post-carbon future.

" ... spot-on in its analysis of America's deepending land use problems and refreshingly upbeat in its account of win-win solutions arising around the country. Flint's fingertip knowledge of detail is especially to be admired." -- E.O. Wilson, professor emeritus, Harvard University

" ... an essential read for those working to understand and build more vibrant and livable communities." -- Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class
