In this year's Urban Development special publication of the Daily Journal of Commerce, we look at real estate trends in the Puget Sound area.

We discuss energy issues and developing to LEED standards; and how to build a town from scratch.

As attention turns to the hurricane-ravaged South, we discuss ways to build better cities.

Finally, we take a peak at a new town under development on Washington's coast, built from scratch.
