In the midst of one of the worst financial crises since the Great Depression, developers are using words like "strength" to describe the state's warehouse and distribution sectors. This issue of New Jersey Business magazine delivers an in-depth report on the movers and shakers in these two vital sectors and why they are still going strong. Among other feature articles, we examine "new urbanism." With Smart Growth planning and Highlands Act restrictions in place, urban centers are the final frontiers for development, or should we say redevelopment, in New Jersey. New urbanism design trends focus on the town center, something not seen since pre-WWII. New Jersey Business magazine talks to architects, lawyers, developers, professors and government leaders to discover what is needed to make the new urbanism renewal a success in the Garden State.
