The chapters analyze responses to six key policy challenges that most metropolitans areas and local communities face: Creating quality neighborhoods for families; Governing effectively; Building human capital; Growing the middle class; Growing a competitive economy through industry-based strategies; Managing the spatial pattern of metropolitan growth and development. Each chapter discusses a specific policy topic under one of these challenges. The authors present the essence of what is known, as well as the likely implications, and identify the knowledge gaps that need to be filled for the successful formulation and implementation of urban and regional policy.
