Abstract

This study explores the conflicts surrounding school desegregation in Franklin County, Ohio, and how they have been resolved in a way that has facilitated a continuation of suburban residential development despite ongoing resistance to growth from local residents. One condition that has proven important in this case is the existence of developable areas within the city of Columbus that are in suburban school districts."White flight" from the desegregating Columbus School District mainly has been confined to these areas, provoking resistance from existing residents and calls for impact fees, calls that have been opposed by developer interests. The author discusses the ways in which developer interests have exploited the intense jurisdictional fragmentation of the metropolitan area to overcome obstacles to further residential development in suburban areas.
