New York - The Politics of Urban Regional Development

"An important book both for people whoe work for government as well as for those who study the governmental process. . . . The scope and depth of investigation and analysis are impressive. . . .I appreciate and respect the authors' insights into the intricate and sometimes subtle--other times not so subtle--role of government in urban development."

--Herbert Sturz, Chairman, Department of City Planning, City of New York

 

"A major work. . . will be required reading for all those interested in the cultural, economic, social or political forces of the New York metropolitan region. . . a worthy successor, as well as in part a corrective, to the path-breaking work done by Robert Wood and Raymond Vernon two decades ago. It deserves, and I'm sure will attract, wide notice."

--Demetrios Caraley, Professor of Political Science, Columbia University
