The study examines the demand for, as well as obstacles to, alternative development at the national as well as local scale. Alternative residential developments are those that are higher-density, compact and pedestrian-oriented, and/or consisting of mixed-land uses, especially as compared to the conventional, low-density, land-use-segregated, and automobile-oriented residential developments found in most American suburbs. The authors conducted a national survey of developers and studies four recent alternative developments in suburban locations built in California and in Michigan.
