- Reposted by Tom KemenyBig cities once lifted generations out of poverty. Now, they entrench it. New research by @dyligent.bsky.social, @tkemeny.bsky.social et al. shows that since the mid-20th century, upward mobility has shifted to smaller towns. #Cities must reconnect growth with opportunity. doi.org/10.1093/pnas...
- Reposted by Tom Kemeny🚨 New Research: The American Dream is Dying in Big Cities Cities used to be ladders of opportunity for their residents. Not anymore. Our new paper shows smaller cities & towns now outperform major metros for kids born into poverty. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar... 1/8
- Wealth in the U.S. is increasing concentrated in the hands of the few.

My new piece for @theconversation.com brings you up to speed. bit.ly/40gqvoZ
