Milken Institute

The Milken Institute, an independent economic think tank, has released the results of their study, 'Best-Performing Cities 2008: Where America's Jobs Are Created and Sustained'. Provo, Utah tops the list.

Massachusetts, California, and Colorado lead Milken's 2004 state technology and science index.

In Santa Monica, CA, the city-planning vogue of New Urbanism has run up against a more powerful force -- the demand for easy traffic flow.

A research study by Joel Kotkin and Ross DeVol for the Milken Institute examines the impact of the technology revolution and how cities can tap into their knowledge assets to fuel local economic growth.
