(Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2021)

The authors note that the urban centers of New York City, Seattle, and San Francisco have enjoyed tremendous economic success and population growth in recent years. Yet at the same time, cities like Baltimore and Detroit have experienced population loss and economic decline. Drawing from an analysis of economic and demographic trends, they explore how the public and private sectors can craft policies and make investments that create safe, green cities where young people reach their full potential.
