Urban Affairs ReviewSummary: Proponents of more regional cooperation in U.S. metropolitan areas have suggested that increasing concern about the effects of unregulated growth creates the possibility of building a regional coalition around combating sprawl. Analysis of public opinion data from New York and Los Angeles suggest a more complicated picture. Suburbanites who are experiencing "city-like" problems in their communities seem increasingly receptive to slow-growth policies. However, residents of the central city in these areas are much less supportive of controls on growth-a problem for the goal of regional coalition building. Furthermore, even among suburbanites, support is not uniform: African-American, lower income residents, and those with stronger ties to the city are all less supportive of slow-growth measures. - Reproduced.
