Such regions possess institutions that allow firms and support organizations to adjust to market shifts. The case of Detroit's Downriver suburbs is used to explore this question in a metropolitan setting. Downriver regionalism supported several market interventions, showing that restructuring can create opportunities for economic regionalism. However, regionalism did not produce industrial adjustment mechanisms and eventually succumbed to interlocal competition for investment. The author concludes that prospects for regional systems are diminished by metropolitan fragmentation and national policies promoting capital mobility as the primary mechanism for economic adjustment. - Reproduced Regionalism - United States Regionalism Urban Affairs Review 40682 40682 40682 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 34, Issue no: 2 AR41057 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
