“…One plausible difference is the greater degree of economic segregation in large US cities 20. Such segregation can create a spatial mismatch between workers and jobs and large inequalities in provision of public goods and services (for example, schools, transportation, health care, policing, housing, etc) because of concentrations of people with high social needs in municipalities with low tax bases 37. The population health effects of inequalities in provision of these public goods and others like parks, libraries, and recreation facilities need to be the focus of future research 15 38…”

“…In contrast, in the post-civil rights years, governmental agents influenced segregated housing patterns only indirectly. 4 Notwithstanding the differences between these approaches, some of which are more supply, others more demand oriented, all of them see residential segregation as 4 For instance, through exclusionary zoning ordinances, the construction of federal highways, and the introduction of the home mortgage interest deduction program fostering suburban building, at the expense of central city development (Orfield 1997: 59, Squires et al 2002: 157, Jargowski 1997. something negative.…”

“…Of particularly concern are the concentration of poverty within parts of the region, growing disparities in tax base and opportunity (PASTOR et al, 2000), and environment justice inequities (BULLARD et al, 2000). Using geographic information systems (GIS), Myron Orfield has documented large and often increasing disparities in wealth, poverty, and tax base within US metropolitan areas (ORFIELD, 1997). Segregation by income grew substantially within these metro regions in the late 20th century, even as segregation by race declined slightly (ABRAMSON et al, 1995).…”

WHEELER S. Regions, megaregions, and sustainability, Regional Studies. The rapid expansion of urbanized regions is problematic for sustainable development. Urbanization at large scales has inherent sustainability problems, and planning institutions and governance mechanisms have had limited success at the metropolitan scale, let alone at a megaregional one. A vision of more sustainable regional development includes an emphasis on balanced local communities to reduce regional mobility demands; the management of land, resources, and population to live within regional limits; efforts to improve equity and build social capital; and on economic development that strengthens the quality of the region's social and ecological systems rather than the quantity of production and consumption. Regional planningRegions Megaregions Metropolitan Sustainability Sustainable development WHEELER S. Régions, mégarégions et durabilité, Regional Studies. L'expansion rapide des régions urbanisées est un problème pour le développement durable. L'urbanisation à grande échelle induit des problèmes inhérents de durabilité et les instances de planification ainsi que les mécanismes gouvernementaux ont connu un succès limité à l'échelle métropolitaine sans parler du niveau méga-régional. Une vision du développement régional plus durable nécessite de mettre l'accent sur l'équilibre des communautés locales afin de réduire les demandes en mobilité régionale, la gestion des terres, les ressources, le souhait des populations de vivre à l'intér-ieur des limites régionales, des efforts pour améliorer l'équité et construire un capital social; il faut mettre l'accent sur le développe-ment économique qui renforce la qualité des systèmes sociaux et écologiques de la région plutôt que sur la quantité de la production et de la consommation. Regionalplanung Regionen Megaregionen Metropolitan Nachhaltigkeit Nachhaltige Entwicklung WHEELER S. Regiones, megaregiones y sostenibilidad, Regional Studies. La rápida expansión de regiones urbanizadas es un problema para el desarrollo sostenible. La urbanización a gran escala presenta problemas inherentes de sostenibilidad y las instituciones de planificación y los mecanismos de gobierno tienen un éxito limitado a nivel metropolitano, no digamos ya a escala megaregional. Para obtener un desarrollo regional con una visión más sostenible se debería dar prioridad a las comunidades localmente equilibradas para reducir las demandas de movilidad regional, a la administración de las tierras, los recursos y la población que vive en límites regionales; a los esfuerzos para mejorar la igualdad y crear capital social y a un desarrollo económico que refuerza la calidad de los sistemas sociales y ecológicos de la región en vez de centrarnos en la cantidad de producción y consumo.
