Professor sees a 'wild ride' ahead for changing economic climate, demographics

February 12, 2015

Walkable communities where people can live, work, eat and play, like what’s planned for Princeton Forrestal Village, are the wave of the future, according to James W. Hughes.  The Historical Society of Princeton hosted Mr. Hughes, distinguished professor and dean of the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University, at the Nassau Club on Wednesday evening. He discussed the topics in his most recent book, “New Jersey’s Postsuburban Economy,” which was co-authored with Joseph J. Seneca, Rutgers University professor of economics, and based on the nearly three-decade-long Rutgers Regional Report series.
