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.
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.

"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."
