Bennett and Robert P. Giloth.Economic Development in American Cities addresses the roles of municipal leaders and civic partners in promoting social equity by examining the experiences of five American cities in the 1990s—Austin, Cleveland, Rochester, Savannah, and Seattle. These five cities were chosen for their activist municipal administrations, robust policy agendas, and viable partnerships. Contributors familiar with each city evaluate the impact of equity investments and extract lessons for municipal leaders and policy agendas. Building on the past experiences of progressive cities, each case study city offers fresh perspectives and examples, told through a rigorous analysis of socioeconomic data and program outcomes combined with engaging stories about specific municipal administrations and policy agendas.SUNY series on urban public policy.Cities and townsUnited StatesUrban policyUnited StatesCase studiesUrban economicsSociology, UrbanUnited StatesCities and townsUrban policyUrban economics.Sociology, Urban307.760973Bennett Michael I.
