Redefining Urban and Suburban America

The Brookings Institution Press has recently published a third volume in their Redefining Urban & Suburban America series, which mines data from the 2000 Census for a wide variety of interrelated patterns in growth and urban change. This newest addition explores the continually changing American urban environment as well as the effects of revitilization and employment law. This volume specifically examines the impact of growth patterns in several urban and suburban settings, including the effect of suburban development on low-income and minority workers, how residential development influences city population changes, and how such patterns shift economic balances between old and new suburbs.
