Such arguments have provided much ofthe ideological underpinning for coalitions around the countrypromoting smart growth and other regional reforms. Smart growthpolicies seek to curb urban sprawl by channeling investmentinto already developed areas, including inner-city communities.Given the attention paid to urban policy among advocates ofthe new regionalism, one would expect inner-city minoritiesto be well represented in the dialogue. However, the dialogueover smart growth and regionalism has largely failed to engageinner-city African Americans, Latinos, and other minorities.This article asks why that is the case, examines the consequences,and proposes a strategy for reframing the new regionalist debatein a way that may resonate more with minority stakeholders.</p> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/voyager/10743 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/voyager/10743 <div class="mlacite">Krumholz, Norman. . <span style="text-decoration: underline">Reinventing cities : equity planners tell their stories / Norman Krumholz and Pierre Clavel. </span> [1566392098 (cloth : alk. paper) ] Philadelphia : Temple University Press, 1994. <br />Call#: Van Pelt Library HT167 .K75 1994</div><br /> <br /> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/voyager/10732 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/voyager/10732 <div class="mlacite"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Journal of planning literature. </span> [0885-4122 ] Columbus, Ohio : Ohio State University Press, 1986- <br />Call#: Fine Arts Library NA9000 .J687</div><br /><div class="citation"> <div class="LabelBold">Title: The Theory and Practice of Equity Planning: An Annotated Bibliography</div> <div class="LabelBold"> Source: Journal of planning literature [0885-4122] Metzger yr:1996 vol:11 iss:1 pg:112 </div> </div> <br />abstract- <em>Equity planning is a framework in which urban plannersworking within government use their research, analytical, andorganizing skills to influence opinion, mobilize underrepresentedconstituencies, and advance and perhaps implement policies andprograms that redistribute public and private resources to thepoor and working class. This approach divergesfrom the downtown-orientedland-use planning tradition of most U.S. cities.
