Metropolitics: A regional agenda for community and stability

Myron Orfield

Forum for Social Economics, 1999, vol. 28, issue 2, 33-49

Abstract: The problem of urban sprawl is explored in terms of its effects on the concentration of poverty, the decline of inner suburbs, and the distribution of economic and other benefits toward the “favored quarters” of a region. Also considered are the costs of the polarization that is symptomatic of urban sprawl, the benefits of regional cooperation and obstacles to attaining that cooperation.
