Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. A solid chronicle of what local governments, nonprofits, and (especially) residents were doing to try to keep urban neighborhoods viable in the 1990s. This had a heavy emphasis on undoing bad policy decisions of the prior decades, but that's what needed to be done. This would probably be a good candidate for an updated edition given how much has changed in the 20 years since publication, but is unsurprisingly dated until/unless that occurs.

Comeback Cities shows how innovative, pragmatic tactics for ameliorating the nation's urban ills have produced results beyond anyone's expectations, reawakening America's toughest neighborhoods. In the past, big government and business working separately were unable to solve the inner city crisis. Today, a blend of public-private partnerships, grassroots nonprofit organizations, and a willingness to experiment characterize what is best among the new approaches to urban problem solving. Pragmatism, not dogma, has produced the charter-school movement and the police's new focus on "quality of life" issues. The new breed of big city mayors has welcomed business back into the city, stressed performance and results at city agencies, downplayed divisive racial politics, and cracked down on symptoms of social disorder. As a consequence, America's inner cities are becoming vital communities once again. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
