GROWTH CONTROL VERSUS THE GROWTH MACHINE IN REDLANDS, CALIFORNIA: CONFLICT IN URBAN LAND USE

Abstract

In the United States, we have failed to control urban sprawl. Ultimately the pattern of urban growth is dictated by a complex interaction of place-specific factors in individual communities. These factors include geography, history, lifestyle, politics, and economics. This paper documents the conflict between development and slow-growth interests in the San Bernardino-Redlands area of southern California. Research presented focuses on the history and viability of agriculture, the origin of and forces behind the slow-growth movement, and the economic and social impact of growth-limiting policies. The conflict between developers and slow-growth proponents in Redlands demonstrates the inability of current land-use planning to deal effectively with a number of serious problems, including urban sprawl, the protection of valuable agricultural resources, and the provision of adequate and reasonably priced housing.
