A constellation of advocacy coalitions fill niches within the city building policy network, but no central actor organizes their activity. Formerly urban leaders would request assistance for specific tactics aimed at urban revitalization contemporary urban leaders articulate larger objectives to consultants but rely on advice to determine specific programs. Evidence suggests that agenda setting for urban revitalization has shifted from “inside-out” to an “outside-in” model since the 1980s. The decline in local leadership (especially regimes), an increased demand for complex amenities, and the emergence of a trans-urban policy network provide outside actors with agenda setting power. The study conducts on archival research on three components of Oklahoma City’s Metropolitan Area Projects programs, specifically education, indoor arenas, and convention centers. This dissertation examines the role of external experts in local agenda setting.
