Where rising populism on the right and the left exploits the grievances of those left behind in the global economy, new localism has developed as a mechanism to address them head on.\u003cbr\u003eNew localism is not a replacement for the vital roles federal governments play; it is the ideal complement to an effective federal government, and, currently, an urgently needed remedy for national dysfunction.\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe New Localism\u003c\/i\u003e, Katz and Nowak tell the stories of the cities that are on the vanguard of problem solving. Pittsburgh is catalyzing inclusive growth by inventing and deploying new industries and technologies. Indianapolis is governing its city and metropolis through a network of public, private and civic leaders. Copenhagen is using publicly owned assets like their waterfront to spur large scale redevelopment and finance infrastructure from land sales.\u003cbr\u003eOut of these stories emerge new norms of growth, governance, and finance and a path toward a more prosperous, sustainable, and inclusive society. Katz and Nowak imagine a world in which urban institutions finance the future through smart investments in innovation, infrastructure and children and urban intermediaries take solutions created in one city and adapt and tailor them to other cities with speed and precision.\u003cbr\u003eAs Katz and Nowak show us in \u003ci\u003eThe New Localism\u003c\/i\u003e, \"Power now belongs to the problem solvers.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Brookings Institution Press","offers":[{"title":"New Localism: How Cities Can Thrive in the Age of Populism | Bruce Katz | Hardcover | 9780815731641 | Used: Like New | Sociology 1764807 (temp: 10)","offer_id":49317421908120,"sku":"1764807","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81pT_7coKPL.jpg?v=1782148208","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/new-localism-how-cities-can-thrive-in-the-age-of-populism","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
