Description
 

A researcher in neighborhood technology in Chicago, Rast uses that city as an example to examine urban economic development in the US since World War II. He challenges the convention that cities must turn their downtowns into service meccas and high-priced housing in order to remain fiscally viable. Rather, he argues, politics plays a major role in choosing among several development options. He also describes how manufacturers are making alliances with labor and community organizations to end the banishment of good paying jobs to the suburbs.
