The New Localism

In The New Localism, urban experts Bruce Katz and Jeremy Nowak explore the shifting dynamics of power from national governments towards cities and metropolitan communities, emphasizing the roles of public, private, and civic networks in tackling today's pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges. Through compelling stories of cities like Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, and Copenhagen, the authors illustrate how these urban areas are pioneering innovative solutions and fostering inclusive growth. This new localism not only complements federal governance but also serves as a crucial strategy for addressing grievances stemming from global economic changes, charting a path towards a more prosperous and sustainable future.
