They point to the importance of the finance and real estate industries, the need to improve the tax base, and the push to create jobs. Bruce F. Berg maintains that there are three forces which are equally important in explaining New York City politics: economic development; the city's relationships with the state and federal governments, which influence taxation, revenue and public policy responsibilities; and New York City's racial and ethnic diversity, resulting in demands for more equitable representation and greater equity in the delivery of public goods and services. New York City Politics focuses on the impact of these three forces on the governance of New York City's political system including the need to promote democratic accountability, service delivery equity, as well as the maintenance of civil harmony. This second edition updates the discussion with examples from the Bloomberg and de Blasio administrations as well as current public policy issues including infrastructure, housing and homelessness, land use regulations, and education. 911BrooklynDavid DinkinsEmpire StateJane JacobsJohn LindsayLaGuardiaMTAManhattanMayor BloombergMayor de BlasioNew York City;New York;politics;governmentPenn StationQueensRobert MosesRudy GuilianiStaten IslandThe BronxWolrd Trade Centercity councilcitydevelopmentgentrificationhousingmayormunicipal bureaucracypublic policyrent controlstatesubwayPOLITICAL SCIENCE / GeneralbisacshNew York (N.Y.)Politics and government1951-New York (N.Y.)Economic policyNew York (N.Y.)Social policy911.Brooklyn.David Dinkins.Empire State.Jane Jacobs.John Lindsay.LaGuardia.MTA.Manhattan.Mayor Bloomberg.Mayor de Blasio.New York City.New York.Penn Station.Queens.Robert Moses.Rudy Guiliani.Staten Island.The Bronx.Wolrd Trade Center.city council.city.development.gentrification.government.housing.mayor.municipal bureaucracy.politics.public policy.rent control.state.subway.911.Brooklyn.David Dinkins.Empire State.Jane Jacobs.John Lindsay.LaGuardia.MTA.Manhattan.Mayor Bloomberg.Mayor de Blasio.New York City;New York;politics;government.Penn Station.Queens.Robert Moses.Rudy Guiliani.Staten Island.The Bronx.Wolrd Trade Center.city council.city.development.gentrification.housing.mayor.municipal bureaucracy.public policy.rent control.state.subway.POLITICAL SCIENCE / General.320.4747/1POL040040HIS036080SOC026030POL017000bisacshBerg Bruce F.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.1827151DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9911009268803321New York City Politics4395251UNINA
