1 THE METROPOLITAN REVOLUTION How Cities and Metros Are Fixing Our Broken Politics and Fragile Economy BRUCE KATZ and JENNIFER BRADLEY
2 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. The Metropolitan Revolution is a national movement, and the book describes how it is taking root in New York City, where efforts are under way to diversify the city s vast economy; in Portland, Oregon, which is selling the sustainability solutions it has perfected to other cities around the world; in Northeast Ohio, where groups are using industrial-age skills to invent new twenty-first-century materials, tools, and processes; in Houston, where a modern settlement house helps immigrants climb the employment ladder; in Miami, where innovators are forging strong ties with Brazil and other nations; in Denver and Los Angeles, where leaders are breaking political barriers and building world-class metropolises; and in Boston and Detroit, where innovation districts are hatching ideas to power these economies for the next century. Bruce Katz and Jennifer Bradley highlight these success stories and the people behind them in order to share lessons and catalyze action. This revolution is happening, and every community in the country can benefit.

10 FOREWORD How does one measure a city? By the buildings that fill its skyline? By the efficiency of its rapid transit? Or, perhaps, by what Jane Jacobs called the sidewalk ballet of a busy street? Certainly these are the memorable hallmarks of any modern city or metropolitan area. But a city s true measure goes beyond human-made structures and lies deeper than daily routine. Rather, cities and metro areas are defined by the quality of the ideas they generate, the innovations they spur, and the opportunities they create for people living within and outside the city limits. These are the elements that will be increasingly important as more people flock to cities than ever before. We have already passed the tipping point: a majority of people on the planet now live in metropolitan areas. In the developing world, 1 million people move to cities and metros every five days. At this pace, by 2050 three-quarters of the global population will call urban areas home. Our language has not yet caught up with the realities. Often when we refer to cities we are actually referring to the broader economic, environmental, and infrastructure networks of the entire metropolitan region of which a city is a part. In this sense, it is difficult to separate the city from its larger metro region or to separate the metro from the city. In today s world, the two are inextricably linked. vii
