JAMES A . JOHNSON METRO SERIES

The Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy at the Brook-

ings Institution is integrating research and practical experi-

ence into a policy agenda for cities and metropolitan areas.

By bringing fresh analyses and policy ideas to the public

debate, the center hopes to inform key decisionmakers and

civic leaders in ways that will spur meaningful change in our

nation’s communities.

As part of this effort, the Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy has estab-

lished the James A. Johnson Metro Series to introduce new perspectives and pol-

icy thinking on current issues and attempt to lay the foundation for longer-term

policy reforms. The series examines traditional urban issues, such as neighbor-

hood assets and central city competitiveness, as well as larger metropolitan con-

cerns, such as regional growth, development, and employment patterns. The

James A. Johnson Metro Series consists of concise studies and collections of

essays designed to appeal to a broad audience. While these studies are formally

reviewed, some are not verified like other research publications. As with all

publications, the judgments, conclusions, and recommendations presented in the

studies are solely those of the authors and should not be attributed to the

trustees, officers, or other staff members of the Institution.
