His book Halfway to Everywhere explores America's first-tier suburbs--those surrounding large central cities were often left behind during the extraordinary revitalization of downtowns in the 1990s. Hudnut paints a picture of these suburbs-from birth through their decline to their rebirth. His portrayal of these metropolitan pivot points provides reasons for hope and strategies for rejuvenation, offering solutions for local officials, policy makers, developers, and citizens who are looking for ways to bring new life to these stressed communities. Local cities mentioned in his book are Kansas City, Kansas, and Raytown, Missouri.
