Smart Growth, Infrastructure and Real Estate Development

Each student will report on the latest literature on a subject covered in class. The whole field of smart growth and the modern challenges of growth and development are changing rapidly. Therefore, the latest information and insights are likely to come from internet sites, including websites, blogs, recent reports, webinars, newspapers, and other journalism outlets, as well as academic and associational journals, etc. Topics will primarily stem from those covered in class, although others may be suggested. The report will explain the selected topic, identify a range of information resources, and discuss which were most helpful. Is there controversy and conflict among the sources, or does a consensus appear to be emerging?
