Allright, question for the frobbing brian (tm) of cyburbia.
-I'm doing a project on economic development along major trade/transit corridors in post NAFTA North America and I am looking for links to articles and/or case studies I can use for part of the literature review. I am doing the project on Buffalo, and
1.) Why there has not been significant economic growth since the agreement (I'm also using other border cities to compare to Buffalo), seeing how Buffalo is positioned along the Canada to Miami trade route and is the 2nd largest border crossing into Canada. I know a lot has to do with jobs leaving for china now, as mexico is experiencing a loss of jobs.
2.) How can the city take advantage of its position as a border-town on a major trade corridor, in a global economy, and increase economic development?
I have a good number of articles so far, but was wondering if there are other articles out there relating to this topic, that I probally missed, e.g. other cities response and action to free trade, how some are taking advantage of it or losing out to it, etc.
-Other border cities that would probally be used in the comparison part of the project would include, Detriot MI, El Paso TX, and San Diego CA, although major water port of entries along either coast could be used.
Thanks foaming and throbbing brian (tm)!
