Ms. Landing said there is a book called Suburban Nation: The Rise of
Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream from which she has
quoted in the past. It states that if you have residential areas that do not
have a lot of services, if services can be retro-fit into that area, it
improves the quality of life and shortens car trips. Ms. Landing said the
project at Midtown that will be presented is a great example.
