Changing Federal Politics, But Potential at State and Metro Levels

In this episode of <em>Next American City</em>'s podcast, the Brookings Institution's Bruce Katz discusses the future of federal policy as the country's political makeup changes after the mid-term elections.

Katz sees opportunity for innovation at the state and metropolitan levels.

"Katz hopes to see the emergence of a 'pragmatic caucus of governors'-an informal coalition of state and metro leaders who will recognize that a place-based, centrist course to governance can lead metro areas into a more secure future. Katz points to notable examples of even the most conservative states voting for spending on infrastructure projects; people will invest in things, he says, that they know will build the future."
