Revitalizing the City : Strategies to Contain Sprawl and Revive the Core PDF
by Fritz W. Wagner, Timothy E. Joder, Jr Anthony J. Mumphrey, Krishna M. Akundi, Alan F.J. Artibise
Description
This practical work demonstrates that controlling urban growth and reviving central city economies are not mutually exclusive endeavors.
Rather than re-hash theories of urban development, the contributors describe and evaluate successful community-tested approaches to sustaining our cities.
Revitalizing the City provides actual case examples of urban success stories - ranging from San Diego's "smart growth" initiative to brownfield redevelopment in Pittsburgh.
The book is divided into four major sections - Urban Growth; Metropolitan Development and Administration; Central City Redevelopment Strategies; and Central City-Suburban Cooperation.
Each chapter includes an analysis of key issues, descriptions of specific local initiatives, highlights of effective policies or programs, and potential pitfalls to avoid.
Revitalizing the City has broad appeal for the urban policy community as well as for undergraduate and graduate courses in urban sociology, geography, political science, and urban studies and planning.
