“…The early developments in the 1960s were biased towards the higher end of the market-both because they were developed near Newport Beach to take advantage of existing services and because TIC needed cash because of their large up-front infrastructure costs. The bulk of Irvine's development has also coincided with the period in which federal subsidises for low-income housing were contracting (Muniac and Auger, 1995). Residents of Irvine have generally resisted subsidised housing construction throughout the period of Irvine's development.…”

The Irvine Ranch in Southern California is the largest privately master-planned 'new community' or satellite new town ever to be built in the US. The development was led by the private sector but government played an important role. This paper traces how the federal government shaped the Irvine development through a range of policies and programmes from defence to habitat protection. In turn, the developers of Irvine were cast in a role of co-ordinating parts of government. This analysis highlights some of the problems likely to be faced as governments promote similarly phased, co-ordinated and mixed-use proposals under the rubric of smart growth or sustainable development.

Although economic disparities persist between men and women, women's issues in the context of U.S. local economic development planning have received relatively little attention by scholars and practicing planners. Market forces and existing local economic development practices can reduce, but not eliminate, these disparities in economic status. Local interventions are needed to effect greater economic equality between the sexes, particularly in light of changes in national policy and the devolution of spending priorities from the federal government to states and localities.
