Abstract

Metropolitan communities across the country face similar problems: the concentration of poverty in central cities; declining older suburbs and vulnerable developing suburbs; and costly sprawl, with upper-middle-class residents and new jobs moving out to a favored quarter. This book tells the story of how demographic research, state-of-the-art mapping and pragmatic politics in the Twin Cities region of Minnesota built a powerful alliance that led to the creation of the area’s widely recognized regional government and the enactment of land use, fair housing and tax-equity reform legislation. The author’s analysis has important implications for all metropolitan regions.
