Urban Studies'A remarkable and timely book. . . . Must reading.' William Julius WilsonOffering a new vision of communitybased regionalism, this book arrives just as 'smart growth' measures and other attempts to link cities and suburbs are beginning to make their mark on the political and analytical scene. The authors make a powerful case for emphasizing equity, arguing that metropolitan areas must reduce poverty in order to grow and that lowincome individuals must make regional connections in order to escape poverty.A hardhitting analysis of Los Angeles demonstrates that the roots of the unrest of 1992 lay in regional economic deterioration and that the recovery was slowed by insufficient attention to the poor. Regions That Work then provides a history and critique of communitydevelopment corporations, a statistical analysis of the povertygrowth relationship in seventyfour metro areas, a detailed study of three regions that have produced superior equity outcomes, and a provocative call for new policies and new politics.Manuel Pastor Jr. is professor of Latin American and Latino studies and director of the Center for Justice, Tolerance, and Community at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Peter Dreier is E. P. Clapp Distinguished Professor of Politics at Occidental College and director of the Urban & Environmental Policy Program. J. Eugene Grigsby III is director of the Advanced Policy Institute and professor at UCLA's School of Public Policy and Social Research.
