Lake Anne Center, Reston, Fairfax County, 1969.Conceived and built in the idealistic days of the 1960s and located well beyond the edge of the commuter shed, Reston was seen as an antidote to “sprawl.” Instead it became a nucleus for development in what was then the exurban zone of Washington DC. By 2000 the wave of slubanization had swept outward well beyond Reston. I recently read that the Lake Anne area is suffering the problems of old age and is being “redeveloped.” -- source link
