Book excerpt: This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the rebuilding of America's urban areas. Beginning with an introduction into the condition of our nation's metropolitan cities and their urban problems, as they exist today, the book also discusses some 14 different practical tools available for public officials to use for inner city renewal. Sixteen case studies have been included to show real-life examples of the efforts of public officials to revitalize their inner city commercial areas and residential neighborhoods. This valuable tool for city planners, business people, and private citizens provides critical thinking about how our urban economic development programs are, and should be, designed and conducted.
Book Synopsis Rebuilding America's Cities by : Paul R. Porter
Download or read book Rebuilding America's Cities written by Paul R. Porter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A growing cooperation between the public and private sectors indicates that the tasks of redevelopment are too large and complex for either sector to accomplish alone. Some people maintain that government can do few things right; others are equally distrustful of the private sector. As used here, the private sector is considered to be all that is not government. Each of the success stories illustrated is, in part, a ""road to recovery,"" although none appear to have been influenced by a purpose that broad.Paul R. Porter and David C. Sweet present stories of progress in self-reliance that concern neighborhood and downtown recoveries, school improvement, job generation, a regained fiscal solvency, novel financing techniques, helping tenants to become homeowners, and a successful venture in self-help and tenant management in crime-infested neighborhoods. The successes stem from the diverse community roles of Yale University, a medical center, the world's largest research organization, the Clorox Company, a gas company, an insurance company, a newspaper, neighborhood and downtown organizations, city governments and two religious organizations - the Mormon Church and the tiny Church of the Savior.These stories are located throughout the United States, including Akron, Baltimore, Brooklyn, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, New Haven, Oakland, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, St. Paul, Salt Lake City, Springfield, Mass., Tampa, and Washington, D.C. The editors have gathered the work of professionals known in the field of urban studies: James W. Rouse, Donald E. Lasater, Rolf Goetze, Dale F. Bertsch, Joel Lieske, Eugene H. Methvin, James E. Kunde, T. Michael Smith, Robert Mier, Carol Davidow, Jay Chatterjee, June Manning Thomas, Norman Krumholz, Larry C. Ledebur, and Robert C. Holland.

Book Synopsis The Inner City by : Thomas D. Boston
Download or read book The Inner City written by Thomas D. Boston and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Porter has argued that a sustainable economic base can be created in the inner city only if it has been created elsewhere: through private, for-profit, initiatives and investment based on economic self-interest and genuine competitive advantage-not through artificial inducements, charity, or government. Porter's ideas have prompted endorsement as well as criticism. More importantly, they have inspired a search for new solutions to inner city distress as well as a reassessment of current approaches. The Inner City defines a core debate in the United States over the future of a racially divided urban America. It is of inestimable importance to policy analysts, government officials, African American studies scholars, urban studies specialists, sociologists, and all those concerned with inner city revitalization.

Book Synopsis Historic Designation and the Rebuilding of Inner City Neighborhoods by : Akram Ijla
Download or read book Historic Designation and the Rebuilding of Inner City Neighborhoods written by Akram Ijla and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In developing effective urban revitalization strategies some still question the value of historic preservation districts and effort. Too few academic researchers have tried to identify and present practical evidence that historic preservation produces important changes in property values. This study using hedonic models in both fast and slow-growth regions demonstrates that historic preservation can indeed make an important contribution to urban revitalization efforts. In addition, historic preservation also produces other returns including enhancements related to aesthetic values and preserving an area's cultural heritage. This study demonstrates that there are both economic and planning benefits from historic preservation and that cities would be well advised to create a select number of districts within aging communities that suffer from the onset of deterioration
Book Synopsis Restoring America's Neighborhoods by : Michael R. Greenberg
Download or read book Restoring America's Neighborhoods written by Michael R. Greenberg and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it take to mobilize a grass-roots force dedicated to bringing new life into a decaying neighborhood? Can any one person or group successfully halt physical deterioration, drug-related crime, or the encroachment of clusters of factories, highways, and other noxious land uses? Michael Greenberg demonstrates in this book that it can and has been done against all odds. Restoring America's Neighborhoods profiles twenty-four such cases from across the United States. It tells the story of people determined to make the blighted, crime-ridden urban enclaves in which they live and work a better place for everybody. These are people from many different walks of life: ministers working to bring jobs to their communities; city planners and federal employees trying to relocated residents of potential disaster areas; and locals taking matters into their own hands to create a healthier, more pleasing living environment for their children. Greenberg's is a heartening account of courage and unwavering resolve as well as of hope that individuals can make a difference, that violent criminals and uncaring bureaucrats need not carry the day. He calls them "streetfighters," a fitting tribute to their efforts to take back their neighborhoods, block by block and street by street. -- Provided by publisher
