Global warming. Disappearing farmland. Long commutes
and climbing gas prices. Anthony Flint [bio],
a 20-year journalist now at the Lincoln
Institute of Land Policy, a think-tank based in Cambridge, Mass.,
specializes in planning and development policy and the built environment
-- the foundation of environmental, energy, and economic policy. After
16 years covering urban life, development, architecture and transportation
for The Boston Globe,
including a weekly column on urban design and public space, he wrote
This Land: The Battle over Sprawl and the Future of America,
a cultural and political account of changing development patterns
in the U.S. that the Library Journal called "engaging, vivid
and provocative." This Land chronicles smart growth,
New Urbanism and green building, as well as property rights and all
the powerful forces that propagate sprawl. Anthony Flint, past visiting
scholar at Harvard
Design School is author of a forthcoming book on the clash of
Jane Jacobs and Robert Moses, to be published by Random House in 2008.
He lectures nationwide on urbanism and trends in land and living,
in the context of dwindling energy resources and climate change.
