This third volume in the series describes a new the changing shape of metropolitan America and the consequences for policies in areas such as employment, public services, and urban revitalization. As decentralization of population and economic activity continued in most metropolitan areas, once-suburban areas have transformed into new engines of metropolitan growth, or boomburbs. At the same time, some traditional central cities have enjoyed a population renaissance, thanks to the appeal of living downtown, often close to workplaces and entertainment. The book's contributors probe the rise of these new growth centers and their impact on the metropolitan landscape.
