The Metropolitan Revolution: How Cities and Metros are Fixing our Broken Politics and Fragile Economy by Bruce Katz, Jennifer Bradley

4.0

This book takes a look at a new approach to US governance, one that's led in large part by metro areas rather than our often ineffective and distant federal and state governments. Who better than local leaders to articulate and implement projects that serve a community's specific needs? The book is bolstered by interesting narratives about metros like Denver, Houston, and Detroit who are hacking the existing top-down hierarchy of procuring investments, or breaking down the silos that encourage local corps, schools, and philanthropies to operate without collaborating. An added bonus to this book is that the insight and solutions it provides aren't limited to government leaders- businesses and nonprofits could benefit from operating in the collaborative and innovative ways our metros are pursuing.
