ABSTRACT
We would like to stress that the degree of racial and socioeconomic segregation and isolation in our society today demands metropolitanwide [sic] solutions. It is not a problem created by cities alone, and it will not be solved by cities alone. Borders between city and suburbs are artificial and malleable, constructs of antiquated laws and regulations … the practice of dividing society into urban and suburban units no longer makes sense. … The problems of the urban ghettos have spilled over the city–suburban borders, and the solutions will call for people on both sides of the dividing line to join together.
