Abstract

This book of essays about the plight of America's cities was organized by the former Mayor of San Antonio, Texas, Henry Cisneros, before he was named President Clinton's Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Some of America's leading urban experts argue that Americans must recognise that the fate of its cities and the future of its civilizations are inextricably linked. The authors assess the problems of cities' shrinking economic base, rising minority populations and decreasing government aid. They propose practical ideas to rebuild urban infrastructure and rethink justice systems and Government. This book is intended for anyone concerned about how to save the cities.
