Mississippi: County Map of Regional Governance

The Delta Regional Authority covers 240 counties in 8 states.
45 of Mississippi's 82 counties are included in this plan.(red stars)

The Appalachian Regional Commission covers 24 of Mississippis counties for a total of 420 counties in 13 states. (green stars)

The Gulf Coast MegaRegion covers 75 counties over 6 states along the Gulf Coast.
Approximately 23 of Mississippi's 82 counties are included in this plan with a 10 county overlap with the DRA. (blue stars)

That leaves 9 of Mississippi's 82 counties, most on the eastern side of the state, that are not included in these 3 plans.

The Gulf Coast Megaregion

PDF | Print | E-mail
Mississippi's Gulf Coast has been included in one of the country's 10 megaregions. Under the Saul Alinsky mantra, 'never let a good disaster go to waste', our state is losing the ability to be self-governing. This megaregion was developed by America 2050.
America 2050 is a national initiative to meet the infrastructure, economic development and environmental challenges of the nation as we prepare to add about 130 million additional Americans by the year 2050.
America 2050 is guided by the National Committee for America 2050, a coalition of regional planners, scholars, and policy-makers to develop a framework for the nation's future growth that considers trends such as:
  • Rapid population growth and demographic change
  • Global climate change
  • The rise in foreign trade
  • Sprawling and inefficient land use patterns
  • Uneven and inequitable growth within and between regions
  • Infrastructure systems that are reaching capacity
  • The emergence of megaregions
A major focus of America 2050 is the emergence of megaregions - large networks of metropolitan areas, where most of the population growth by mid-century will take place. Examples of megaregions are the Northeast Megaregion, from Boston to Washington, or Southern California, from Los Angeles to Tijuana, Mexico. They comprise multiple, adjacent metropolitan areas connected by overlapping commuting patterns, business travel, environmental landscapes and watersheds, linked economies, and social networks. At least ten megaregions have been identified in the United States.
In Europe and Southeast Asia, governments are investing tens of billions of dollars in high-speed rail and goods movement systems to connect networks of cities in what are termed "global integration zones." These counterparts to America's megaregions are increasingly being viewed as the new competitive units in the global economy, where knowledge workers can move freely among urban hubs. Economic regeneration strategies are also being deployed at this scale, to transition former industrial regions to the new information economy.
America 2050 is serving as a clearinghouse for research on the emergence of megaregions and a resource for megaregion planning efforts nationwide. Its aim is to advance research on the emergence of this new urban form while promoting planning solutions to address challenges that span state and regional boundaries, demanding cooperation and coordination at the megaregion scale.

Hurricane Katrina dramatically swept away the veil obscuring severe poverty and inequities located in the Gulf Coast and echoed in regions across America. Unfortunately, the subsequent national discussion has been disappointing, in that it failed to address the myriad causes and potential strategies for addressing the causes of these inequities.
Nor did it take seize on the opportunity to craft more effective megaregion-sale strategies for infrastructure planning, affordable housing, health, education, and transportation, issues that could address the inequities reflected in the entire Gulf Coast - the nation's most impoverished area. In this paper, the Gulf Coast is treated as a case study for addressing poverty and inequity at the megaregion scale. The authors present seven principles for a megaregion-scale equity approach.
