Metropolitanism and the Issues of Social Integration and Administrative Decentralization in Large Cities.

The factor of metropolitanism affects both the issues of desegregation and decentralization of public school systems. Metropolitanism will encourage social integration in two ways: (1) busing of inner city Negro students to suburban schools, and (2) development of open housing sentiments in the suburbs. The growth rate of non-whites in the suburbs will produce a "marked amount" of integration within the next decade. (NH)
