SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Nicholas Schoon argues that the foremost priority for regeneration is to make neighborhoods and cities places where people with choices choose to live. The author surveys the last two centuries of metropolitan growth and decay, analyzes the successes and failures of recent changes in urban policy, and proposes a wide range of radical measures to make the renaissance a reality. Comprehensively researched, the book serves as a wake-up call for everyone interested and involved in urban regeneration."--Jacket.
