Welcome to Citiwire.net! The move to recognize and focus on America’s megaregions–groupings of closely connected metro regions–has been flowering with leadership from the America 2050 organization. My column this week focuses on the South’s Piedmont region, an area of exuberant, fast-growth development that’s barely recognized, until now, its interconnections and need for joint strategies. That’s changing with the leadership of mayors and academia in a new “Piedmont Alliance for Quality Growth” –featured in my column this week. … There’s no new Citiwire guest article this week, but we’re pleased to keep posted last week’s interesting post by Rich Louv.
