Regional and Megraregional Analyses
The Center for Business and Policy Research (CBPR) completes regional and megaregional studies that examine evolving socio-economic dynamics across the Northern California Megaregion and its increasingly linked regions of the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, the North San Joaquin Valley (NSJV), and the Monterey Bay Area. A focus of the CBPR’s regional work is on the NSJV. Consisting of the three adjoining counties of San Joaquin, Stanislaus, and Merced, the NSJV is an emerging region with deepening connections to both the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento.
