Highlighting both the challenges and the opportunities for urban development, The Option of Urbanism shows how the American Dream is shifting to include cities as well as suburbs and how the financial and real estate communities need to respond to build communities that are more environmentally, socially, and financially sustainable.



Trade Review
"Could it possibly be that Washington, for years bashed by politicians, its population shrinking and, at one point, almost bankrupt, has become a model of how the entire nation might smartly develop in the twenty-first century? I never thought I'd see the day. But Christopher Leinberger, one of America's top real estate analysts and now a Brookings Institution fellow, makes a startling case for it in his just-published book, The Option of Urbanism." - CHARLOTTE OBSERVER"
