| Abstract
|
:
|
"This book investigates urban growth management in the USA as a contested form of state territoriality. Synthesizing, interpreting, and contributing to literature on the history, theory, and practices of urban growth management, Diewechter's analysis offers critically theorized case studies of four U.S. "city-regions" located in four different growth management states."--Jacket.
