Urban development that emphasizes self-help and ignores the structural problems of poverty, racial segregation, and growing inequality are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the nation's urban past. -- Robert Self, Brown University As city leaders across the country embrace various forms of new urbanism, Joseph Rodriguez provides a compelling historical lesson. Urban development that emphasizes self-help and ignores the structural problems of poverty, racial segregation, and growing inequality are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the nation's urban past. -- Robert Self, Brown University Bootstrap New Urbanism presents a provocative idea that revives key elements of growth machine theory and reinforces a regionalist critique of neoliberal urban policy efforts. The book shows how policymakers can avoid taking responsibility for urban issues by adopting popular design trends. Thus, community-based solutions are transformed into a self-help regime, which in turn comes very close to blaming the victim. Furthermore, Joseph A. Rodriguez make insightful observations about the unanticipated risks of promoting entertainment as a force for urban revitalization, particularly in relation to alcohol. -- Aaron Passell, Furman University Author InformationJoseph A. Rodriguez is associate professor of history and urban studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
