Welcome to our new blog about local issues that can have a global impact! Produced by the State and Local Policy Program to highlight work done in the Urban and Regional Planning and Policy Area at the Humphrey Institute, Regionalities will explore topics that are becoming increasingly important as rising energy prices bring a sharp public focus on how our cities are planned to foster sustainable economic growth, to maximize personal mobility while reducing carbon emissions, and to fit into the larger web of regional economic and environmental concerns.

Regionalities is led by Lee Munnich and Frank Douma with the help of research assistant Katrina Mitchell.
