![]() | Making Cities Work: Prospects and Policies for Urban America Subjects: Cities and towns -- United States; Urbanization -- United States; Urban economics -- United States; Sociology Urban -- United States; City and town life -- United States; Urban policy -- United States; Making Cities Work brings together leading writers and scholars on urban America to offer critical perspectives on how to sustain prosperous, livable cities in today's fast-evolving economy. Successful cities provide jobs, quality schools, safe and clean neighborhoods, effective transportation, and welcoming spaces for all residents. But cities must be managed well if they are to remain attractive places to work, relax, and raise a family; otherwise residents, firms, and workers will leave and the social and economic advantages of city living will be lost. Robert P. Inman is the Richard K. Mellon Professor, Finance and Economics, at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. His books include Managing the Service Economy . |
