Planning Implications of Demographic and Economic Change
Based on demographic and changes in consumer preferences, Dr. Nelson was among the first to show that America has more homes on large lots than the market demands. By some accounts, he also created a new field of projecting large-scale nonresidential redevelopment opportunities that may be sufficient to meet all future development needs of nearly all metropolitan areas to about mid-century.
