Bargaining for Brooklyn - Community Organizations in the Entrepreneurial City

Zusammenfassung When middle-class residents fled American cities in the 1960s and '70s, government services and investment capital left too. Countless urban neighborhoods entered phases of precipitous decline, prompting the creation of community-based organizations to bring resources back to the city. This book examines such organizations that drive urban life.
