From inner-city crime and disorder to suburban sprawl that devours resources, all is not well in metropolitan America. While the scholarly community remains sharply divided over issues of metropolitan reform, Ron Oakerson delivers a carefully reasoned, empirically supported defense of the noncentralized metropolis. At its core is a cogent analytic framework that draws on economic reasoning without lapsing into market metaphors.
