A future research agenda for transformational urban policy studies
There is a gap between the policy problems faced by twenty-first century cities and their proposed solutions, which are often small-scale, siloed and unsustainable. Cities face growing poverty, a rise in precarious work, unaffordable housing, decaying infrastructure, climate change, social polarisation and, most recently, a deadly infectious disease. The urban crisis is rooted in the failures of neoliberal policy characteristic of advanced capita…
Beyond Neoliberalism
The urban crisis—poverty and inequality, un—and under-employment, inadequate and unaffordable housing and public transportation, pollution and climate disasters—is the result of the failure of the neoliberal agenda to produce adequate funds and capacities to ensure the provision of services necessary for the city to function and its residents to thrive, especially the most vulnerable, and increasingly, the middle class. In the last few years, the…

Beyond the Rhetoric
Louisville’s consolidation with Jefferson County was the first large-scale merger to take place in the United States in more than 30 years. The authors examine this merger as a major institutional innovation that was supposed to enhance economic development. Proponents of consolidation claimed that institutional change would “shake up” the system and create an economic boom. The authors use actual results to determine whether this much-heralded e…
Civic Culture and Corporate Regime in Louisville
We examine the civic culture in Louisville focusing upon the community power structure, community value system, and public decision-making system as described by knowledgeable persons. Interviewees were selected for their first-hand knowledge of community decision making as participants and close observers and to represent different interests. Respondents described what resembles a corporate-centered regime in economic development but which does …
Suburbs without a City
City-county consolidation is advanced as a good government reform to promote efficiency, equity, and accountability and, more recently, to reduce growing disparities between central cities and suburbs. Whether these objectives are realized is more doubtful than the fact that local reorganization embodies a real change in power relations. Altering boundaries changes the kinds of issues that are relevant to decision makers as well as the relative p…
Rebels and Nomads
During the last 30 years, the Republicans have expoused an interesting assortment of economic, international, and social conservatism, with each aspect having more prominence at distinct times. Examining key votes throughout this period, we assess how the most recent converts to the party, those from Southern states, align with Republicans from other regions on each of these three dimensions. We also estimate the relative importance of each of th…
Metropolitan Planning Organizations and the New Regionalism
This article outlines the new regionalism movement and its metropolitan agenda, reviews federal efforts to promote new regionalism under ISTEA and TEA–21, considers how the new federal policies changed the role of metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) in transportation planning by examining the MPO for the Louisville metropolis, and assesses the MPO process in Louisville. The local decision of whether to build a new bridge across the Ohio Ri…

The Growth Machine versus the Antigrowth Coalition
In 1987, in their book Urban Fortune: The Political Economy of Place, Logan and Molotch argued that growth is not usually in the community interest. They proposed a strategy to alter the ability of business to force cities to compete for capital. This strategy depends upon the antigrowth coalition winning its struggle against the growth machine in individual communities. But the issue of growth is more complex than suggested by a growth/no growth…
Rating American Cities-Credit Risk, Urban Distress and the Quality of Life
Since communities have failed to generate their own indicators of social and economic well-being and the quality of community life, they have been forced to rely on externally generated indicators, often presented in form of rankings comparing one community with another. Three such rankings are explored in this paper (1) credit risk, (2) urban distress, and (3) quality of life. While each of the ratings serves a particular purpose and clientele, …
