This powerpoint by Alan Berube, presented at the Knight Center’s “Cities, Suburbs, and Beyond” seminar, examines four major trends impacting U.S. cities in the 1990s, and offers a typology of city performance and attendant implications for policy. The presentation also discusses changes to urban and suburban America brought about by the federal government’s new metropolitan classification standards.
