Urban Policy Choices
for Michigan Leaders

The Institute for Public Policy and Social Research is partnering with the Urban Affairs Programs (UAP) to provide scholarly research on urban policy issues. IPPSR and UAP commissioned eight policy papers. They are presented below in briefing paper format. The papers is also available along with an introductory chapter, in book form. The book was published by the MSU Press and is available for order online.

Both the papers and the book were developed for use by Michigan's state and local policymakers and others involved in the policy process including candidates and voters. They present balanced and thoughtful information on truly salient issues.

The papers are being funded by a generous donation from the Applied Public Policy Research Program allocated by the State of Michigan to provide expertise for Michigan's policymaking community. For more information, please contact IPPSR's AnnMarie Schneider.
