Book Description
This research seeks to determine whether or not reclassification had an effect on metropolitan formation and expansion and metropolitan population growth by region and size of place by (1) comparing the population growth of metropolitan areas existing in 1974 that changed boundaries, in boundaries that were allowed to change. In comparing constant and changing boundaries, this research also seeks to show the extent of growth from net migration directly through constant boundaries and indirectly through changing boundaries. (2) In order to demonstrate the full effects of reclassification, this research also compares the growth of metropolitan areas created after 1974.

Book Description
America's cities have symbolized the nation's prosperity, dynamism, and innovation. Even with the trend toward suburbanization, many central cities attract substantial new investment and employment. Within this profile of health, however, many urban areas are beset by problems of economic disparity, physical deterioration, and social distress. This volume addresses the condition of the city from the perspective of the larger metropolitan region. It offers important, thought-provoking perspectives on the structure of metropolitan-level decisionmaking, the disadvantages faced by cities and city residents, and expanding economic opportunity to all residents in a metropolitan area. The book provides data, real-world examples, and analyses in key areas: Distribution of metropolitan populations and what this means for city dwellers, suburbanites, whites, and minorities. How quality of life depends on the spatial structure of a community and how problems are based on inequalities in spatial opportunity--with a focus on the relationship between taxes and services. The role of the central city today, the rationale for revitalizing central cities, and city-suburban interdependence. The book includes papers that provide in-depth examinations of zoning policy in relation to patterns of suburban development; regionalism in transportation and air quality; the geography of economic and social opportunity; social stratification in metropolitan areas; and fiscal and service disparities within metropolitan areas.

Rural Retirement Migration
Author: David L. BrownPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402068956
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
This fascinating book examines rural retirement migration from the older in-migrants’ perspective and from the vantage point of the destination communities to which they move. This integrated approach permits the authors to view older in-migrants as embedded in environments that facilitate and/or constrain their opportunities for productive living during older age. It also permits the examination of positive and negative effects of older in-migration for destination communities.
