Description

New Jersey is “the city within the garden.” This can be a bundle of paradoxes – a highly industrialized state famous for its seashore and mountain resorts; a moderately conservative state politically that nonetheless pioneered state land use, zoning, and environmental protection legislation. The one state to be characterized by the U.S. Census as entirely metropolitan, New Jersey has the highest population density within the nation. This can be a highly suburbanized state that remains vital agriculturally, one during which both very large and very small farms continue to multiply. New Jersey may be a state during which widespread suburbanization of residents, shopping, and jobs has affected probably the most remote corners but during which old central cities are being revitalized by massive immigration which is demographically and dramatically changing the face of the state. New Jersey must be understood as both a microcosm of the USA and a leading indicator of things to come for the nation.
