When it comes to suburban and rural development, more and more Americans are showing interest in greener building practices, better resource management, and biodiversity. There is also a growing desire to redevelop America’s urban centers. But alongside these movements are the core principle of free enterprise, the cherished right to buy and sell property, and the ongoing need to create housing for an ever-increasing population. Can all of these divergent points of view be reconciled? This three-part series of Fred Friendly Seminars explores these critical issues. 3-part series, 60 minutes each.
