2008 CITISTATES REPORT
13 years later, a fresh look at a growing region
Much has changed in the Charlotte area since our first in-depth report

Thirteen years ago, we took a careful look at this exuberant growth region of America, interviewing scores of leaders from Mecklenburg and its surrounding counties. The series of articles we then wrote, published in the Observer and several other newspapers around the bi-state region over a month of Sundays, challenged leaders and citizens here to take charge of their future, to "democratize development," to bring the public in on key decisions about how the entire region grows.

...Now, at the invitation of the Knight Foundation, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and The Charlotte Observer, we're back.
