A comprehensive study of inner-ring suburbs in the US
At one time, a move to the suburbs was The American Dream for many families. This title defines the suburbs' geographic boundaries and provides a ranking system for assessing and acting upon inner-ring suburban decline. It demonstrates how other suburbs, particularly those in the outer reaches, flourished during the 1980s and 1990s.A comprehensive national study of inner-ring suburbs in the United States
“An engaging contemporary study of twenty years of suburban change in the U.S., Once the American Dream is more comprehensive than earlier works on suburbs, focusing on differences among suburbs rather than the city/suburban differences. The breadth of stories told against the analysis helps provide good insights and makes the national picture more local to readers. Hanlon ably demonstrates how to apply useful methodologies to the study of contemporary metropolitan geography.”—David L. Phillips, Professor of Urban and Environmental Planning, University of Virginia
