The Voluntary City : Markets, Communities and Urban Planning, Hardback Book

The Voluntary City : Markets, Communities and Urban Planning Hardback

Edited by David T. Beito, Peter Gordon, Alexander Tabarrok

Hardback

Description

The Voluntary City assembles a rich history and analysis of large-scale, private and voluntary, community-based provision of social services, urban infrastructure, and community governance to restore the vitality of city life.

Such systems provide education, transportation, housing, crime control, parks and recreation, health care, employment, and more, by being more effective, innovative, and responsive than those provided through special-interest politics-as-usual and bureaucracy. ""The Voluntary City"" reveals how the process of providing local public goods through the dynamism of freely competitive, market-based entrepreneurship is unmatched in renewing communities and strengthening the bonds of civil society.
