June 07, 2007Study says Dallas fosters solid growth
The city of Dallas, along with Houston, Phoenix, Atlanta and Charlotte, N.C., offer America's most compelling model for urban greatness, according to a study released Tuesday. The study, "Opportunity Urbanism: An Emerging Paradigm For the 21st Century," found that Dallas and the other cities would be more successful than others because they focus on creating opportunities for the masses rather than catering to the elite. "A region's ability to create jobs, offer affordable housing and present entrepreneurial openings to a growing and highly diverse population is the surest sign of urban vibrancy and viability," said Joel Kotkin, the study's main author. According to Kotkin, while some cities like Boston, New York and Los Angeles can prosper by focusing on the elite, most cities would fare better by focusing on making opportunities for the vast majority of their residents. The study, which was conducted with The Barbara Jordan-Mickey Leland Institute at Texas Southern University and California's La Jolla Institute, was funded by the Greater Houston Partnership.
