Today, the Bay Area is home to the most successful knowledge economy in America, while Los Angeles has fallen progressively further behind its neighbor to the north and a number of other American metropolises. Yet, in 1970, experts would have predicted that L.A. would outpace San Francisco in population, income, economic power, and influence. The usual factors used to explain urban growth—luck, immigration, local economic policies, and the pool of skilled labor—do not account for the contrast between the two cities and their fates. So what does? The Rise and Fall of Urban Economies challenges many of the conventional notions about economic development and sheds new light on its workings. The authors argue that it is essential to understand the interactions of three major components—economic specialization, human capital formation, and institutional factors—to determine how well a regional economy will cope with new opportunities and challenges. Drawing on economics, sociology, political science, and geography, they argue that the economic development of metropolitan regions hinges on previously underexplored capacities for organizational change in firms, networks of people, and networks of leaders. By studying San Francisco and Los Angeles in unprecedented levels of depth, this book extracts lessons for the field of economic development studies and urban regions around the world.

California's San Francisco Bay Area, a metropolitan area located near rivers and sea, has both a high concentration of wetlands and significant infrastructure demands associated with dense urban areas. This paper identifies the wetland restoration plans and policies which dictate the recovery of San Francisco Bay Area wetlands as well as the infrastructure requirements that threaten to degrade San Francisco Bay Area wetlands. We find that recent wetland policy revisions and efforts by government and non-government agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area have been successful in revitalizing wetland restoration. However, urban growth and the need to protect against sea level rise from global warming create infrastructure needs that are constrained by these policy initiatives. We consider the unaddressed policy conflict between the goals of wetland reclamation and the demands imposed by infrastructure needs. We offer insight into how wetland mitigation markets and policies may adapt in response to this conflict.
