(2008-08-11) Boyd End Edge City

Stowe Boyd on whether the end of Cheap Oil will be the end of the Edge City.

For people Commuting from the Suburb-s into a city, being able to live in an Urban Village near Mass Transit would be good. But if everyone wants a big house with a big lawn, I can't see that scaling. You'd need Row House-s and Small Park-s to become more accepted, I think.

For people Commuting from Suburb to Office Park, argh I don't have an answer. Maybe return to Company Town, where BigCo puts HQ in the boonies, while putting in place Urban Village Zoning in the area? Maybe we just hasten the death of the BigCo?
