About this title

Synopsis

Once drivers of industry and wealth, many smaller industrial cities in the Rust Belt declined in the 20th and 21st centuries due to changing industries and government policies that steered investments away from communities of color. This report presents strategies for reinventing these places―tapping their full potential while preparing workers for jobs, helping local businesses expand, empowering residents to become civic leaders, and preventing displacement.
