Land-Use Planning in the Doldrums: Growth Management in Massachusetts' I-495 Region Between 1990 and 2000 communities along Route 495, a beltway about 20 miles west of Boston, grew about twice as fast as the greater Boston region as a whole. Eight communities in that area were studied to answer two questions. How did communities in this region respond to growth and what role did planning and planners play in that response. "Land-Use Planning in the Doldrums: Growth Management in Massachusetts' I-495 Region," written by Christina Rosan, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning at MIT, and Lawrence Susskind, Ford Professor of Urban and Environmental Planning also in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning at MIT, finds that while all eight communities faced similar pressures and concerns, they responded in ways both strikingly similar and significantly different.
