CREATING PROJECTS AS ELEMENTS
OF A NEW MEGASTRUCTURE

Looking at the cities of the future. The beginning of science parks, R&D clusters, and other new urban forms

285. "Sites for Science, Research Facility Planning," Industrial Development, Aug. 1962. pp. 5-43. Includes index of research parks.

286. "The Agricultural PUD: a New Concept to Preserve Croplands." The encroachment of urban growth on productive agricultural areas is a matter of national concern. A possible approach may lie in the design and development of a new type of planned unit development which includes selected agricultural areas in the same fashion that golf courses and recreational areas are included in typical PUDs. Industrial Development, Sept.-Oct. 1973. p. 3.

287. Pitfalls in Development. The bureaucracy of development. Soft plans and feasibility studies. Hard plans and preconstruction activities. Construction and operation. Megapuds track record. Special pitfalls for special projects. Real estate panics. Pitfalls ahead. 1978, 1981. 343 pp.

288. "Will Two-loop Cities Dominate Future Site Selection?" During the past decade hundreds of site decisions have left no doubt that circumferential freeways are a powerful magnet in drawing new business facilities to certain metro areas. Now, it is argued that proposed new outer loops may become an even more important development attraction in those areas where government entities can get together and build them. Site Selection, June 1986. pp. 582-588.

289. "Enter the Super Metros!!!" The preferred life style of most Americans involves a homesite in a quiet suburb, small town or rural area with a job just a few minutes away, plus easy access in less than an hour to all of the sophisticated services of a large metro complex. The area planning teams which provide for this style will be the big winners in the site competitions of the next decade. Enter the super metros! Site Selection, Aug. 1987. p. 756.

290. "R&D Clusters." Where do they occur? Why have they developed? What are new locations to watch? 1987. Monograph.

291. "Atlanta as a World Class City." What is a world class city? The city/hinterland link. Building blocks for the future. Monograph. Based on presentation at the 12th annual Gwinnett Developers Conference, Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce, Gwinnett County, Ga. Sept. 24, 1987.

292. "The Super Collider Show Who Will Make the Cut?" It's bigger than the District of Columbia, will cost $6 billion and has 25 states spending millions to promote sites. The DOE's search for a supercollider site is stirring what may be the biggest location battle ever. Site Selection, Dec. 1987. pp. 1234-1235.

293. "R&D Clusters." In 1962 Conway Data conducted a study in which we sought to identify existing clusters of R&D activity and to predict where new clusters might emerge. During 1987-88 we examined results and found that most of the centers predicted to emerge have done so. Gwinnett Daily News, Nov. 16, 1988.

294. "Outer Loop Could Focus World Attention on Metro Area." Some of the keenest observers of trends in urban planning believe that the "two loop" cities of the world will dominate future development patterns. Site Selection, October 1988.

295. "State's Best Minds Needed to Plan Outer Loop." In the legislative session just ended, the Georgia General Assembly authorized the beginning of work on the most important highway project in the state's history. That is the long-heralded outer perimeter. Gwinnett Daily News, April 19, 1989.

296. "Rethinking Urban Plan." Is it time to divorce high-rise offices and regional shopping centers? A substantial segment of the population of Gwinnett County encounters major traffic congestion every working day. One change in strategy which might be considered ...pertains to the location of regional shopping centers, office parks and other major complexes in relation to key transportation routes. Gwinnett Daily News, Jan. 18, 1989.

297. "Super Metro Areas." Americans want to have best of both worlds ...a homesite in a quiet suburb, small town, or rural area with a job just a few minutes away, plus easy access in less than an hour to all of the sophisticated services of a large metro complex. Gwinnett Daily News, Feb. 15, 1989.

298. "Outer Loop Highway Would Link Cities, Hinterland." We have often said that the proposed outer perimeter could do more for Georgia's economic development than any other project. Gwinnett Daily News, March 17, 1991. p. 3E.

299. "Tomorrow's Super Cities," The Futurist. World Future Society. May-June 1993.
