Published: Jan. 25, 2018, 4 p.m.

Across the country, a movement of local doers is taking hold \u2014 one where problem solving happens from the bottom up instead of the top down. We're seeing this in everything from the way we educate ourselves to the tools we use to get places. The energy is coming not just from governments but also business leaders, teachers and scientists, and the solutions are interdisciplinary, too. This is what Bruce Katz,\xa0Centennial Scholar at the\xa0Brookings Institution, argues in new book, co-authored with Jeremy Nowak,\xa0The New Localism: How Cities Can Thrive in the Age of Populism.\nIn this episode, Chuck interviews Bruce Katz about his book, this new localism movement and how it could shape a better future for all Americans.
