Postwar Urban America : Demography, Economics, and Social Policies

Postwar Urban America :
Demography, Economics, and Social Policies

by John F. McDonald
English | 2015 | ISBN: 0765646080 | 416 Pages | PDF | 3.74 MB

This unique and inexpensive book provides a demographic and economic history of urban America over the last 65 years. The growth and decline of most northern cities is contrasted with the steady growth of western and southern cities. Various urban government policies are explored, including federal, state, and local policies. There is a chapter focusing on Detroit and its rapid decline toward bankruptcy and its recent strategies to slow recovery. The final two chapters speculate on what's next for urban America and gives suggestions for stimulating growth.
