while the rest of the country has trended toward urbanization, the big cities in missouri haven't seenn influx. in 1990 missouri had three cities that numbered over 125,000. the same number there are today. while kansas city, st. louis and springfield have become more democratic, their populations make up less of the state's overall population than they used to. the three big cities in missouri made up 19% of the state's population in 1990, but just 16% in 2013. in some states when big cities go to the democrats, it's enough to deliver the entire state. that's not the case in missouri anymore. in 2012 obama won just three counties, jackson, home to kansas city, boone, home to columbia, and st. louis county and the city of st. louis. in fact the map kind of looks like the nation, doesn't it, as a whole? blue to the east and west with one dot in the middle. you know, kind of seems like america. joining me now, political reporter for "the kansas city star" dan helling. dan, that's what's amazing about missouri is there are many of my colleagues who still think of missouri as a swing state

cities, when you look like detroit. what went wrong and how can you fix it? >> the epic of detroit is one of the world's great urbaninds of economic change. detroit is an xafl industrial city whose age has come and gone. successful cities are marked by three things, smart people, small firms and connections to the outside world. these things made new york great. small firms talk with each other, connect with peach other. smart people are able to use the density, to learn from one another and of course connections to the outside world are what cities are all about. think how far from the industrial city became. you had vast integrated factories. it's not these things were amazingly productive in their time. but when cost conditions change you move the factories to a far cheaper location. to the south, across the oceans and the cities didn't have wherewithal to reintervent themselves. ask yourself which cities in america have been able to many could back? it's education and human capital. the tragedy is when u.s. government looked at reinventing cities it followed an intent strategy that made it seem structure and in

poverty is more of a sign of urban strength than weakness. citiespoor, at least not most of the time. cities attract poor people with a promise of a better life, with the ability to get around without a car. my own work together with matthew khan of ucla found that poverty rates go up in the united states near new subway stops. that doesn't mean the cities are impovrishing people, but subway stops attract people that aren't able to afford the lifestyle of american suburbia. >> when we look at those things in flavellas, there's an enormous amount of economic activity going on there. it's all informal. nobody pays any taxes. you know, is that something that one should celebrate? >> i think so. i mean, i think there are things also to hate about slums, certainly. i think the first order of things when i walk through a place like deravi, which is a magical place filled with enormous energy of indian talent. there's a guy sewing brassieres and you think you're in the lower side of manhattan in 1905. and across the street, there's recycling of boxes, ther
