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
