Late last year, the Brookings Institution began an effort called The Blueprint for American Prosperity focusing on how metropolitan areas drive economic growth. Part of that effort looks at what the Federal role should be. Specifically, the Brookings Institution states that:
Metropolitan areas cannot resolve their challenges alone. Counties,
cities, and suburbs operate within a national policy framework, and
face challenges bigger than their own capacities. What’s needed is a
new partnership between federal, state, local, and private-sector
players to help metropolitan areas build on their economic strengths,
foster a strong and diverse middle class, and grow in environmentally
sustainable ways. Over the next year, we will publish a series of
policy papers outlining specific federal reforms.
Brookings has studied what DOL and our Federal partners have done under the WIRED Initiative as part of this effort. Keep an eye on their Federal Role website as reports on WIRED and other Federal activities should be released in the near future.
