| There are over 25,000 incorporated communities in America. How many of these are truly successful? How is it that some small towns and rust belt cities are prospering, while many others are suffering disinvestment, loss of identity, and even abandonment?
Why are some communities able to maintain their historic character and quality of life in the face of a rapidly changing world, while others have lost the very features that once gave them distinction and appeal? How can communities, both big and small, grow without losing their heart and soul?
Ed McMahon, Senior Resident Fellow at the Urban Land Institute posed these questions at the start of his recent "Secrets of Successful Communities" series on PlannersWeb. Want the answers? You'll have to join us on this week's call!
