Case <strong>for</strong> Industrial Activity in Cities<br />
Equity<br />
<strong>Inner</strong> cities need jobs; between 1998-2009, the 100 largest inner cities<br />
lost nearly 3% of their job base while the rest of their regions grew by 5%<br />
Efficiency<br />
Midwestern industrial land, <strong>for</strong> example, can be redeployed to fuel growth<br />
Environment/Energy<br />
Re-focusing industrial activity in cities reduces supply chain costs, which<br />
has a positive impact on bottom lines and the environment<br />
Assets<br />
These include large centers of population, proximity to transportation<br />
assets, and large firms/institutions that are located in cities<br />
With these factors in mind, ICIC has focused in recent years on industrial<br />
strategies in a number of cities, including:<br />
Philadelphia, PA<br />
Detroit, MI<br />
Saint Paul, MN<br />
