Abstract

This episode of “This Is It” features a discussion on urban planning and regional development, focusing on the challenges faced by Ohio cities like Dayton, including funding shortages, urban sprawl, and inadequate representation of marginalized communities. Dayton Mayor James McGee and Dale Bertsch of the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission explore issues such as growth management, regional cooperation, and the impact of political and economic factors on city development. They emphasize the importance of inclusive planning that considers the needs of poor and minority populations, advocating for community involvement and thoughtful policies to manage growth, prevent urban fragmentation, and ensure equitable resource distribution for the future.
