Back to Prosperity: A Competitive Agenda for Renewing Pennsylvania, a collaborative analysis published by the Brookings Institution, reports on how the economic future of a major rust belt state is directly dependant on revitalizing its demographic mix and slowing sprawl and abandonment. The study reveals that Pennsylvania’s highly decentralized growth patterns are weakening the state’s established communities. It concludes that these trends are not inevitable, and can be reshaped if the state embraces a flexible new vision of economic competitiveness that links the Commonwealth’s desire for prosperity to the need to revive older cities and towns.
