New Urbanism: Building For The Next 50 Years
20 minutes; Original (Pre-Discount) Price $12.00

By Philip Angelides
California State Treasurer
January 28, 1999
Smart Growth Summit
Sacramento, California

Synopsis: Smart growth must mean more than just building our suburbs right. It must also mean investing in the rebuilding of our inner cities. And it must mean investing to improve social equity and to reduce the income and racial gaps that the last 50 years of suburban development have helped to create.

About Philip Angelides

Prior to his election as California State Treasurer in 1998, Philip Angelides was a successful and innovative developer. He formed his own investment and management business in 1986, and among his business ventures was the "new town" development of Laguna West.

Laguna West was featured in Time, Newsweek, the New York Times, U.S. News & World Report, and on ABC-TV's "Good Morning, America." It helped spark a national dialogue on how we can plan and build more livable communities.

In addition to his private sector roles, Angelides has been active in civic life for 25 years. He served as Co-Chair of the Mayor's Commission on Education and the City's Future in 1995-96, and then lead a unique bi-partisan civic committee which helped turn around the troubled Sacramento City Unified School District.

Angelides is a graduate of Harvard University and a Coro Foundation Fellow.

Sound Bites

"Because of the sheer demand for growth in California, we had forgotten that in the end the communities we build are the places we live, and that homes and porches, tree lined streets, a sense of human scale design were not unimportant..."


"Those companies that want a sustainable environment in which they can be most productive are choosing communities that do the best job of community design."


"We have systematically thrown away older neighborhoods on 25-year cycles and replenished them with new waves of suburban development, and in the course of doing that have magnified and amplified differences in race and class.... California cannot succeed long term with thriving successful economically vibrant suburbs in the context of inner cities that are devastated."
