Engineering & Technology • 59m
In their new book, Unlocking the Potential of Post-Industrial Cities, authors Matthew E. Kahn, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Economics and Business and Director of the 21st Century Cities Initiative (21CC) at Johns Hopkins, and Mac McComas, senior program manager at 21CC, explore the recent history and potential future of Baltimore, Cleveland, Detroit, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis. They ask how the public and private sectors can craft policies and make investments that create safe, green cities where young people reach their full potential. They also highlight recent lessons from urban economics in labor market demand and supply, neighborhood quality of life, and local governance while scrutinizing strategies to lift people out of poverty. The book provides a roadmap for how urban policy makers, community members, and practitioners in the public and private sector can work together with researchers to discover how all cities can solve the most pressing modern urban challenges.
