Reversing Population Decline
Monday, July 6, 2009
Topics: Economy, Education, Politics, Other
The U.S. census bureau's new population estimates seem to confirm the conventional wisdom about Greater Cleveland: the population decline is continuing. But other struggling industrial metro regions have managed to turn their declines around. After years of urban flight, Chicago, Philadelphia--even Kalamazoo, Michigan--are seeing a resurgence. Join us Monday morning at 9 to hear the secrets of their successes and the scope of the challenges facing Ohio's cities.
