The Metropolitan Revolution by Bruce Katz and Jennifer Bradley of the Brookings Institute. "A revolution is stirring in America. Across the nation cities and metropolitan areas, and the networks of pragmatic leaders who govern them, are taking on the big issues that Washington won't, or can't, solve. They are reshaping our economy and fixing our broken political system." Katz recently appeared (9/19/2013) on Greg Dalton's Climate One at the Commonwealth Club with Mayor Lee, Kofi Bonner. Audio is available and if you have an hour, worth listening to. His message is a pragmatic one suggesting that U.S. metropolitan regions can help themselves.
