Looking at the cumulative effects of urban decline in the classic post-industrial city of Camden, New Jersey, historian Howard Gillette, Jr., probes the interaction of politics, economic restructuring, and racial bias to evaluate contemporary efforts at revitalization. In a sweeping analysis, Gillette identifies a number of related factors to explain this phenomenon, including the corrosive effects of concentrated poverty, environmental injustice, and a political bias that favors suburban amenity over urban reconstruction.Challenging popular perceptions that poor people are responsible for the untenable living conditions in which they find themselves, Gillette reveals how the effects of political decisions made over the past half century have combined with structural inequities to sustain and prolong a city's impoverishment. Even the most admirable efforts to rebuild neighborhoods through community development and the reinvention of downtowns as tourist destinations are inadequate solutions, Gillette argues. He maintains that only a concerted regional planning response-in which a city and suburbs cooperate-is capable of achieving true revitalization. Though such a response is mandated in Camden as part of an unprecedented state intervention, its success is still not assured, given the legacy of outside antagonism to the city and its residents.Deeply researched and forcefully argued, Camden After the Fall chronicles the history of the post-industrial American city and points toward a sustained urban revitalization strategy for the twenty-first century.HISTORYbisacUnited States / State & Local / Middle Atlantic (DC, DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA)bisacUrban renewalHistoryCamdenNew JerseyRegions & Countries - AmericasHILCCHistory & ArchaeologyHILCCUnited States Local HistoryHILCCHISTORYUnited States / State & Local / Middle Atlantic (DC, DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA)Urban renewalHistoryRegions & Countries - AmericasHistory & ArchaeologyUnited States Local History974.9/87Gillette Jr., Howard, 1030556DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910457083203321Camden After the Fall2447495UNINA00955nam a2200229|i 450099100362705970753620021219124444.0020204s|||| it u u itauub11841072-39ule_instLE02737039ExLDip.to Studi Giuridiciita344.45Galantino, Luisa133027Il lavoro temporaneo e i nuovi strumenti di promozione dell'occupazione :commento alla legge 24 giugno 1997, n. 196 /a cura di Luisa GalantinoMilano :A.
