Book Reviews of Brookings-Wharton Papers on Urban Affairs 2003 (Brookings-Wharton Papers on Urban Affairs)
Book Review: Amazingly Insightful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is truly an amazing book. Gale and the other editor (Janet Rothenberg Pack) have assembled an outstanding bunch of essays dealing with various problems in urban affairs, including "Tax Incentives and the City" and "Does Gentrification Harm the Poor?" You will learn SO much from reading these essays. Truly some of the best writing on urban affairs I've read- and I've been teaching the subject at a large midwestern university for 30 years.
