What If
Foreword
New Schools / Better Neighborhoods is no longer just the title
of a one-time Spring gathering of civic and educational leaders
at a Getty Center Symposium. It is the vision of a committed cadre
of neighborhood, regional and state leaders who see the potential
of voter-approved school, park, library, health and other public
funds being intelligently utilized to build not only public facilities
that keep the rain out, but more livable urban communities in
California. As this compelling report by Steven Bingler makes
clear, to fully realize the promise of such an investment strategy
in our State, the Smart Growth and School Reform movements must
"converge."
