Oklahoma City. Indianapolis. Charleston. Des Moines. What do these cities have in common? They are cities of modest size but outsized accomplishment, powered by a can-do spirit, valuing compromise over confrontation and progress over political victory. These are the cities leading America . . . and they're not waiting for Washington's help.
In The Next American City, four-term Oklahoma City mayor Mick Cornett offers a hopeful and illuminating look at the innovative urban centers that will lead the United States in coming years.
As mayor of one of America's most improved cities, Cornett used a bold, creative, and personal approach to orchestrate his city's renaissance. Once regarded as a forgettable city in "flyover country," Oklahoma City has become one of our nation's most dynamic places--and it is not alone. In this book, Cornett translates his city's success--and the success of cities like his--into a vision for the future of our country.
The Next American City reveals how our metropolises are reinventing themselves by wayis a story of civic engagement, inventive public policy, and smart urban design. It is a study of the changes re-shaping American urban life--and a blueprint for those to come.”
