Summary: This book explains how sports centers factor into downtown economies. Dubious planning decisions surrounding large-scale centers have led to stagnation rather than revitalization. But with the right planning, design, and financing, large-scale centers can be integrated into a development area with successful returns. Combining theory and practice, the book offers insightful, detailed studies of some of the most dramatic cases of city arena projects. The new edition incorporates longer-term data on the original case studies, and adds cases in Denver, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Detroit, Los Angeles, San Diego, as well as information on Canadian development projects. |
