Urban Decentralization, Suburbanization, and Sprawl: An Equity Perspective
This article argues that public policy should focus more sharply on the distributional consequences of sprawl. There are two sides to a sprawl. On one side is the market-oriented position that maintains urban decentralization. On the other side is the market failure position that argues low-density suburbanization has been an inefficient and inequitable outcome. However, the argument states that the benefits and costs of both are large and roughl…
Export Orientation and the Limits to Local Sovereignty
The decade 1990—2000 marked a historical turnaround for large metropolitan areas in the US. For the first time in the post-World-War-II period these metropolitan areas experienced a reduction in the local share of economic activity relative to the export share. The long-standing shift from manufacturing to services, while continuing through the decade, was no longer sufficiently large to offset the increasing export orientation of non-manufacturi…

Private Benefits and Public Costs: Policies to Address Suburban Sprawl
The uneven development and disparities that exist in most metropolitan regions are the consequence of a combination of private decisions and public policies. Public policy can also redress some of these inequities and redirect the pattern of growth. The article discusses individual policies—ranging from congestion pricing to regional governance—in detail. Each policy is assessed in terms of its contribution to slowing metropolitan deconcentration…
Goal Achievement, Relationship Building, and Incrementalism: The Challenges of University-Community Partnerships
The University of Illinois at Chicago's Neighborhoods Initiative is used as a case study of how planning occurs in a situation of shared power; what the relationship is between the goals of participants and what actually gets done; and what the role of planners is in linking knowledge to action. The collaborative planning model is characterized by incrementalism, and relationship building is a key element. Relationship building and goal achieveme…
Planning the New Urban University: The Role of Planning Departments
Funding constraints and increased criticism of institutions of higher education are forcing many universities to reformulate their missions or develop new strategic plans. For a variety of reasons urban issues appear prominently in the new mission statements of universities. This article explores the extent of this new urban emphasis and its reflection in proposed new university structures, processes, and programs. Because urban planning is the a…

Neighborhood Mayor
The Growing Localness of the Global City
An increasing share of economic activity in large metropolitan areas serves local markets. For such areas, other researchers have demonstrated the rising importance of internationally oriented activities. These findings are not necessarily contradictory. The shares of both local and internationally oriented activities have grown at the expense of manufacturing production oriented to national markets. Even allowing for the expansion of traded prod…

Industry Task Forces As Pragmatic Planning: The Effect of Ideology, Planning Process, and Economic Context on Strategy Selection
Industry task forces represent a new approach to local economic develop ment planning. It is being applied to many industries and cities by a wide variety of sponsors, who approach the issues with different ideologies and use different planning processes. Yet the outcomes of these planning efforts often exhibit surprising simi larities. It appears that the specifics of the planning processes used, as well as the concept of a task force itself, le…
Informal Helping Networks and Social Service Changes: A Community Perspective
Interviews with 112 household respondents and 58 social service agency directors in three ethnically and racially distinct Chicago neighborhoods provided a comprehensive assessment of -- household helping relationships in a community context. Reliance on informal helping greatly exceeded use of formal agencies at the household level. Households were twice as likely to give help as receive it in a complex variety of ways, while agencies struggled …
