This volume captures work by policy analysts and researchers in urban and regional planning, political science, economics and related fields. By looking at issues such as economic interdependencies, global competitiveness and intergovernmental relationships, the book is an attempt to understand how cities and their suburbs are dependent on each other and to point to possible avenues for the construction of effective regional policies. The papers were presented originally at a September 1998 conference cosponsored by the University of Illinois at Chicago, the Lincoln Institute and the Brookings Institution Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy.
