The upper
Northeastern United States, the great lakes and Midwest States often referred
to as the Rust Belt are areas which since mid 20th century experience
severe economic decline and out migration of much of urban population to
suburbs and other parts of the country. States such as New York, Pennsylvania,
Michigan and Wisconsin with urban areas such as Baltimore, Chicago, Buffalo,
Detroit, Milwaukee, Gary, Cincinnati and Cleveland grapple with poverty and a
declining tax base.
However, in
spite of change and challenge make no mistake these cities still possess the infrastructure
to expand economically. Most of these cities are have the economic elements
such as waterways, logistics for moving people and goods, many world renown
universities as well as cultural and government centers.
The potential to become future cities and
mega-marvels is amazing. With the new
technologies and a progressive master plan the emphasis on developing
businesses to replace rust belt industries is the number one priority to fight
poverty.
