Abstract

ABSTRACT: The literature on sustainable development has neglected suburban regions. Through a case study ofsuburban Long Island, I examine the theoretical and empirical interactions between sustainable development and post-Fordism. Are these theories complements or competing altematives? As Long Island moves towards a high technology, infonnation-based economy, how are its environmental politics changing? Are sustainable development policies compatible with this new post-Fordist economy? JVhile there are some promising changes towards sustainability, regional policies continue to emphasize financial wealth at the expense of regional well-being and sustainability.
