About the book
The book examines urban renewal strategies, housing policies, and redevelopment initiatives across American Cities during the late 1970s and 1980s. It analyzes how federal urban planning mandates and grants were adapted into local neighborhood projects. The volume evaluates the political, economic and social challenges involved in restoring declining urban cores, focusing on public-private partnerships, house market shifts and community impacts.
