The quest for authentic place: The production of suburban alternatives in Minnesota's St. Croix Valley
Article Abstract:
A study attempts to identify the actors, conflicts, and underlying motivations behind the production of alternative suburban landscapes, drawing on three case studies and a control neighborhood in Minnesota's St. Croix River Valley. It suggests that these alternative landscapes be viewed as ambivalent, supporting progressive social and environmental ideals while at the same time enhancing local environmental quality at the expense of the broader environment, and thus representing the increased diversification and sophistication of the suburban project rather than its rejection.
