The Rise And Fall Of Urban Economies

Audio book club discussion of THE RISE AND FALL OF URBAN ECONOMIES: LESSONS FROM SAN FRANCISCO AND LOS ANGELES for links to some of the things we talk about, see the show page: https://bedrosian.usc.edu/podcast/the-rise-and-fall-of-urban-economies/ Michael Storper, co-author of our latest book club pick, The Rise and Fall of Urban Economies said recently in an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times: "To succeed in the new economy ... Southern California has to face its mistakes over the last 30 years." The claim is that the Bay Area has been "better" at doing business than we have in SoCal. The book makes the claim that San Francisco has succeeded where Los Angeles has failed over the last 30 years. Experts from USC discuss the merits and faults of this comparison of the two regions. Featuring Raphael Bostic, Elizabeth Currid-Halkett, Liz Falletta, Chris Redfearn, and Mott Smith.
