Metropolitan Resilience in a Time of Economic Turmoil

"Particularly important at a time when cities and metros are compelled to innovate and problem-solve on their own, given the absence of federal and often state leadership."--Bruce Katz, coauthor of The Metropolitan Revolution "This book reveals the potential of metropolitan regions to cure, but also to transcend, endemic impasses beyond their respective borders. This well-written and insightful book is a must-read for scholars as well as policy makers."--Political Studies Review
"In this book, Michael A. Pagano brings together a stellar set of multidisciplinary and multigenerational scholars to reconsider the urban agenda in the post-Great Recession era. They offer a coherent focus on local capacities for adaptation and change in dealing with core issues such as infrastructure, pensions, economic vitality, social safety nets, and collaborative initiatives."--Susan E. Clarke, coeditor of The Oxford Handbook on Urban Politics
