Myron Orfield's new book, American Metropolitics, applies MARC's cutting-edge demographic research and state of the art mapping to the 25 largest metropolitan areas in the United States. Using maps and other methods to document social, racial, fiscal, land use, and political trends in the top 25 metropolitan areas in the nation, the book details the evolution of social and geographic stratification and wasteful development in the United States-and offers an alternative.
This book will go a long way toward altering the conventional views of the role, function, and composition of central cities and their suburbs. It explodes the lingering myth that suburbs are monolithic and points the way to new city/suburban alliances aligned around true self-interest rather than outmoded ideologies and divisions.
