Book Reviews of Cities, Change, and Conflict: A Political Economy of Urban Life
Book Review: Okay
Summary: 3 Stars
I had used this book with a course I had taken in college. It is very interesting if you are unfamilair with urban problems. If you are slightly familiar(by living in the city) it is still informative if you have a good teacher.
