Abstract:

Charlotte has long been the Carolinas' financial, distribution, and transportation center. Now it is in the midst of a growing boom that has turned a small Southern city into a sprawling metropolitan area. Jobs are increasing faster than population; construction permits reached almost 10,000 in 1985; and almost 1,700 companies have invested in the area in the last decade. Kinney discusses with city officials and business leaders the question of when does more turn into too much and big becomes bad?
