The Politics of Urban America : A Reader, Used [Paperback]

In this reader, two leading scholars have brought together a collection that represent some of the most important trends in urban scholarship today. The readings fit together in a political economy framework so that, considered as a whole, they illustrate how public power and private resources interact in the governance of cities. The reader is organized around three main themes: the imperative of growth; the challenge of governance; and the politics of secession. Each chapter is introduced by an essay that provides background and places the selected readings into context.
