Description

This comprehensive book is both a richly textured portrait of New Haven, Connecticut, and the story of the rise and fall of American cities. Douglas Rae depicts the reasons for urban decline, explains why government spending has failed to restore urban vitality, and offers suggestions to enhance city life in the future.

"For anyone with the slightest interest in cities, this book is that rare combination: a must-read volume that you can't put down." Planning Magazine
