Cities, counties, school districts and other local governments have
suffered a long-lasting period of fiscal challenges since the
beginning of the Great Recession. Metropolitan governments continue
to adjust to the "new normal" of sharply lower property values,
consumer sales, and personal income. Contributors to this volume
include elected officials, academics, key people in city
administrations, and other nationally recognized experts who
discuss solutions to the urban problems created by the Great
Recession. Metropolitan Resilience in a Time of Economic Turmoil
looks at the capacity of local governments to mobilize resources
efficiently and effectively, as well as the overall effects of the
long-term economic downturn on quality of life. Introducing the
reader to the fiscal effects of the Great Recession on cities, the
book examines the initial fraying and subsequent mending of the
social safety net, the opportunities for pursuing economic
development strategies, the challenges of inter-jurisdictional
cooperation, and the legacy costs of pension liabilities and
infrastructure decay. Contributors are Phil Ashton, Raphael Bostic,
Richard Feiock, Rachel A. Gordon, Rebecca Hendrick, Geoffrey J.D.
Hewings, David Merriman, Richard Nathan, Michael A. Pagano, Breeze
Richardson, Annette Steinacker, Nik Theodore, Rachel Weber, and
Margaret Weir.
