Jobs within 3 miles of a city center fell from 24.5% of overall positions in 2000 to 22.9% in 2010, according to a report released Thursday from the Brookings Institution. During the same time, jobs in the outer suburbs -- between 10 and 35 miles of a city's center -- grew from 40.9% in 2000 to 43.1% in 2010. |
Should we just accept urban centers are failures and bulldoze them? Replace them with massive parks made available for the enjoyment of suburbanites? Should Overland Park, KS become the 'capital' of the Kansas City metro area, basically? If not, what can be done to save the cities?
