According to David Rusk, focusing on programs aimed at improving inner-city neighborhoods--playing the inside game--is a losing strategy. Achieving real improvement requires matching the inside game with a strong outside game of regional strategies to overcome growing fiscal disparities, concentrated poverty, and urban sprawl. In this persuasive book filled with personal observations as well as his trademark mastery of census statistics, Rusk argues that state legislatures must set new rules of the game. He believes those rules require regional revenue or tax base sharing to reduce fiscal disparity, regional housing policies to ensure that all new developments have their fair share of low- and moderate-income housing to dissolve concentrations of poverty, and regional land-use planning and growth management to control urban sprawl. State government action, Rusk argues, is particularly crucial where regions are highly fragmented by many competing city, village, and township governments. He provides vivid success stories that demonstrate best practices for these regional strategies along with recommendations for building effective regional coalitions.

Now, in  Baltimore Unbound, he applies his ideas in an illuminating study of Baltimore's continuing economic stagnation, offering a frank assessment of its causes and possible solutions.  Placing the study in the context of national urban issues, Rusk reviews similar problems and remedial efforts in other cities.

It argues that America must end the isolation of the central city from its suburbs in order to attack its urban problems. Based on a detailed study of census data on 522 central cities in 320 metro areas of the USA from 1950 to 1990, the book shows that cities trapped within old boundaries have suffered severe racial segregation and the emergence of an urban underclass. But cities with annexation powers, even when they are poorer, have not achieved critical mass in poverty, dependency and crime, and are succeeding. These latter cities - termed \"elastic\" by Rusk - have shared in area-wide development. \"Inelastic\" cities, by contrast, lost their middle-class tax base outside their city limits and suffered acute segregation by race and economic class. This edition not only employs updated census data available since publication of the first edition, but it implements an improved method for calculating elasticity and provides more precise information about population, income, and racial trends in central cities. New information summarizing growth in family income for all cities and metro areas comes from a new study recently completed by the author. Updated case studies of metropolitan reforms are based on his direct involvement as a consultant in over 50 metro areas since the publication of the first edition. Commentary on new federal urban programmes, including enterprise\/empowerment zones and proposals to transform federal public housing, is provided as well.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50475096178961,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50475096441105,"sku":"CIN0943875730VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51689772220689,"sku":"CIN0943875730G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0943875730.jpg?v=1750916834"},{"product_id":"inside-game-outside-game-book-david-rusk-9780815776512","title":"Inside Game\/Outside Game","description":"For the past three decades, the federal government has targeted the poorest areas of American cities with a succession of antipoverty initiatives, yet these urban neighborhoods continue to decline.
