Small Cities Blues: Looking for Growth Factors in Small and Medium-Sized Cities
The study attempts to identify particular public policies which have the potential to increase the economic viability of smaller metropolitan areas and
cities. The author identifies characteristics associated with smaller metro areas that performed better-than-expected (winners) and worse-than-
expected (losers) during the 1990s, given their resources, industrial mix and location as of 1990.
