If you missed last week’s Think Tank session for ULI members, you have an opportunity to request a free copy of our speaker’s publication.  Chris Benner, Associate Professor, Community and Regional Development and Researcher at Center for Regional Change at
University of California, Davis presented an overview on Just Growth: Inclusion and Prosperity in America’s Metropolitan Regions.  Breaking new ground in its innovative blend of quantitative and qualitative methods, the book argues that another sort of growth is possible. Offering specific insights for regional leaders and analysts of metropolitan areas, the authors also draw a broader – and quite timely – set of conclusions about how to scale up these efforts to address a U.S. economy still seeking to recover from economic crisis and distributional divisions.  Go to http://justgrowth.org/ to get an overview on this research and publication, and to request your copy.
