Immigration, local policy, and national identity in the suburban United States
This article examines four local immigration policies in the Chicago and Washington DC metropolitan areas to explain how suburbs justify their policy positions. It shows that these suburban communities rely on conceptions of American identity
and the ‘American Dream’ in support of their policies, but leverage these tropes in vastly different ways depending on the broader strategic purposes of the policies. These divergent suburban immigration policies both challenge traditional notions of suburban

distancesfrom suburban areas into the central city were replaced by shorter commuting relations within the suburban areas. Taking four German agglomeration areas as a case in point, the author reaches the overall conclusion that the co-location hypothesis cannot
be confirmed. In spite of the decentralization of employment a smaller-scale linkage of functions in suburban areas did not take place. The author explans this amongst other things with the evident mono-functionality of suburban growth policies. - (IfL)

Organized labor and the housing question: public housing, suburbanization, and urban renewal
This paper examines those public-housing, suburbanization, and urban renewal policies in the USA that have evolved as a consequence of intraclass struggle. It is argued that the powerful constituency of organized labor was able, in 1950's, to impose

of the labor-liberal coalition and to successfully oppose the union-advocated policies of urban renewal and suburbanization.
