  <title><![CDATA[Review: Megaregions, Edited by Catherine L. Ross]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p><em>Megaregions: Planning for Global Competitiveness</em>, edited by Dr. Catherine L. Ross, was reviewed by Aaron Renn, an urban success strategist focusing on the overlooked cities of the Midwest. Renn applauds the concept of megaregions as a "convenient abstraction for federal level thinkers to make sense out of the large number of diverse metro areas in America" while noting that "megaregions are necessary purely as a level of hierarchy, even if they prove to be a phantom level." </p>]]></body>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
