Description
The goal of this book, the second in a series, is to inform policymakers, practitioners, and scholars about the effectiveness of select policy approaches, reforms, and experiments in addressing key social and economic problems facing cities, suburbs, and metropolitan areas. The authors take a fresh look at several different issues (e.g., education, economic development, land use) and conceptualize how each should be thought of.
