Abstract: After reviewing changes in housing policy and the impact of U.S. metropolitan decentralization on jobs and the demand for transportation, the authors examine the role of the new high-technology economy in urbanization. Specifically, they suggest that the patterns of public and private metropolitan infrastructure investments continue to support decentralized expansion. Using the Washington, D.C., region as an example, they explore the increased separation of suburbs and core cities in metropolitan regions. They explore the different policy perspectives of economic dependency versus specialized economic functions in an interdependent metropolitan region. They argue that present federal urban policy reflects the former but that new urban regional dynamics are driven by the realities of the latter.
