Professor William H. Lucy
William H. Lucy has been researching trends and proposing plans pertinent
to the future of cities, suburbs, and exurbs. With David L. Phillips, he
has
produced several analyses of suburban decline and exurban sprawl for
the Virginia Commission on Population Growth and Development and the
Partnership for Urban Virginia. He is continuing this work with Fannie
Mae, the nation's major investor in secondary residential mortgages. The
analyses by
Professors Lucy and Phillips contributed to passage of the Virginia
Regional Competitiveness Act of 1996, which established financial incentives
to
encourage collaboration between government, business, and education
in regional planning, development, service sharing, and revenue sharing.
