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

4.0

This book basically makes the case that the real agents of change or innovation are not in the federal or state governments, but rather, in the cities. That's a view I mostly agree with, and found this book to make the case pretty well. That being said, it was a little dry at times, and while there were some interesting chapters (I particularly liked the chapter on Denver), I generally like books more about urban form rather than urban economy.

All that said, this book does make its case well, and and just a little over 200 pages (and a lot of appendix and citation at the end) it's a quick read.
