Abstract

Professor Stein’s article reviews a report entitled Greening America’s Smaller Legacy Cities, authored by Joseph Schilling, Catherine Tumber, and Gabi Velsasco and published by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. Their report argues that an equitable and sustainable low-carbon future is essential for smaller and midsize legacy cities to thrive. The path to this type of ‘green regeneration,’ they suggest, requires a focus on three areas: (1) climate resilience; (2) environmental justice and equity; and (3) green economic development.
