FACULTY
Peter Detwiler
The 'Journal of the American Planning Association' published a book review
by part-time PPA faculty member Peter Detwiler. Detwiler reviewed "Building
Rules," a book that examines growth controls in three California cities.
His review appears in JAPA's Spring 2001 issue.
Rob Wassmer
Rob Wassmer, Public Policy and Administration, has completed a paper on
"Retail Sprawl,
Urban Containment, and the Fiscalization of Land Use in the Western United
States." On April 23 he presented this paper at a brown bag seminar
to the Sacramento Branch of the American Society of Public Administrators.
On April 26, Professor Wassmer presented the same paper at a national
meeting of the Urban Affairs Association in Detroit. Related to this work,
he is currently advising Sacramento Assemblyman Daryl Steinberg on a bill
he wishes to sponsor to reduce competition among cities and counties for
commercial development and the local sales tax revenue it brings. Such
competition can worsen regional traffic, pollution, and urban sprawl because
it pulls retail activity out of traditional retail centers.
