Or maybe you’re on the other side of the job market and looking to move to a new community. How do you know what someone with your experience, or expertise, can expect to make?

Drawing on prodigious research, firsthand reportage, and historical analysis, The Next Hundred Million reveals how this unprecedented growth will take physical shape and change the face of America. The majority of the additional hundred million Americans will find their homes in suburbia, though the suburbs of tomorrow will not resemble the Levittowns of the 1950s or the sprawling exurbs of the late twentieth century. The suburbs of the twenty-first century will be less reliant on major cities for jobs and other amenities and, as a result, more energy efficient. Suburbs will also be the melting pots of the future as more and more immigrants opt for dispersed living over crowded inner cities and the majority in the United States becomes nonwhite by 2050.
The field of Affordable Housing and Community Economic Development has evolved substantially since the 1960s.

This book documents the themes and trends of the contemporary CED movement and provides guidance for strengthening our communities and ensuring that they and their residents prosper and compete in today's global economy.
The authors provide a range of ideas on how to approach generational shifts in leadership so that the contributions of long-time leaders are valued, new and younger leaders' talent is recognized, and groups are better prepared to work across generational divides.

In addition, they provide numerous examples and practical exercises to show how to address these issues. The book concludes with critical advice on how to communicate across generations and key recommendations for future research and action.

No property is an island, which is why the most successful redevelopment initiatives focus on areas. This publication examines core issues and best practices in targeted area redevelopment, which derives synergy from the improvement of multiple properties. IEDC’s research is based on interviews and information from redevelopment practitioners across the country. It illustrates how communities designate an area for redevelopment and use powers to: 1) acquire land; 2) return land to the private sector; and 3) designate tax increment financing districts. The publication discusses these topics in-depth, concentrating on approaches and case studies in nine states.
