"The New Geography" By Joel Kotkin Today, the best educated workforces are not in major cities but in suburban Aftergraduating from the University of kentucky, Mr. Hawse worked at Cypress http://www.newgeography.com/WSJ_Declustering_of_America.htm
Extractions: here has been a lot of debate in recent weeks about plans to build on the site of the World Trade Center. Yet the competing proposals share the same odd assumption: that lower Manhattan needs more high-rises to replace the Twin Towers. The idea that New York, or any city, needs much more high-rise office space is rooted in a deep-seated, increasingly misplaced faith in what has become widely known as industry "clusters." This idea suggests that high-wage economies must be rooted in localized and specialized networks, as epitomized by Wall Street, Hollywood and Silicon Valley. With its origins in the industrial era, the cluster mantra has its roots in the theories of classical economists, such as Alfred Marshall, and, more recently, it has been amplified through the writings of such top economic thinkers as Charles Sabel, Michael Priore and Michael Porter. As a result, many regions expend great effort to discover and expand "clusters" that will turn their area into the next boomtown. Tenuous Yet today the logic underpinning many such clusters is increasingly tenuous. The use of advanced telecommunications makes coordination between disparate individuals and companies, even on a global level, increasingly easy. At the same time, the dispersion of talent and technology to various parts of the country and the world has altered the once-fixed geographies of talent. Being nearby industry sources and people is still important, but is increasingly less so.

Extractions: Both city and country minds need to go outside the lines Are these events tied together in some way? A recent announcement conveyed the bottom line that cities are decreasing in population while counties are gaining. This, we are told, is happening everywhere but most notably in our large urban areas. One such story is that of the Census. It may be true, technically, that the population in cities is decreasing while that in counties is growing. But the story of urban and rural Kentucky is more complicated than that. And it is counter-productive for cities and counties to be at odds at a time when any wars we wage should be against illiteracy or other enemies that pose lasting threats.

Extractions: Kentucky A State Unit Study This mini unit on KENTUCKY uses the cross curricular approach to education. There are several activities from different academic subjects for you to choose from. One of the most important things is to have fun! Below are some activities to help you study KENTUCKY. You may choose to do all, some, or none of the activities. You can also alter the activities to better suit your individual childs needs. Some of these activities overlap each other, choose the one you think that you and the children will enjoy most. The main point of this unit is to make learning about KENTUCKY and enjoyable for all who are participating. Kentuckys State Flag Create a State Infodesk: Before you begin this unit you may want to set up a research area. Place a desk or table in front of a bulletin board area. This will be where you can place relevant books, magazines, photographs, posters, newspaper articles, maps, scrapbooks, games, puzzles, computer software, task cards, travel brochures, etc. that you collect. Print a blank map of the state, or draw one on tag board, that you can place on the bulletin board. As you study the political and physical features of the state, have the children fill in the name of the state capital, large cities, and major geographical features. Color the map using different shades for varying elevations.
Extractions: Merger Central: Previous analysis, reader forum, district maps and demographics Opposition to Greater Louisville metro council districts drawn by geographer Bill Dakan mounted yesterday, as Jefferson County commissioners planned to delay approval of the map until they hold a public hearing. Civil-rights groups, a suburban mayor and the Green Party all stepped forward yesterday to express their dismay with the districts' design. Although none officially have said they intend to sue to stop the new districts, Dakan said he expects a lawsuit. ''You could spend years on (drawing) maps and not improve them,'' said the University of Louisville professor. ''And they might get a lot worse.'' With two small modifications, Dakan will present his final map to Jefferson Fiscal Court this morning. By law, Fiscal Court must adopt it within 30 days without change. Judge-Executive Rebecca Jackson would prefer that the districts be approved at today's court meeting, her aides said. Jackson, a Republican, ''believes it's time to move forward,'' aide Terry Dunn said.
