Abstract
Negotiating the increasingly congested New Jersey road network in the twenty-first century, it is instructive to remember that once upon a time, the Garden State offered a bucolic alternative to the pulsating city life available in nearby New York City and Philadelphia. Explaining how suburbs emerged on the eastern side of the Delaware River, how they have changed the landscape, and what challenges they now pose to planners, builders, and homeowners is at the heart of this well-researched book.
