Rebuilding Urban Neighborhoods

    Research output: Book/ReportBook

    Abstract

    Twelve contributions examine some of the most troubled neighborhoods in American cities today, including Atlanta's Peoplestown; Camden, New Jersey; Detroit's inner city; and New York City's Red Hook neighborhood. Contributors, primarily professors in the field of urban planning, review past federal, state, and city policies and provide assessments of the latest federal initiative, the Empowerment Zone, finding some signs of revival but inevitably as an overlay to persistent poverty and social problems.
