SynergiCity: Reinventing the Postindustrial City
 "Instead of handing over neighborhoods to city hall or private developers, this book shows that the solution to many cities' plights lies within them. Empowering residents to take control of and build on community assets, engaging them in community-based organizations that can spearhead revitalization and build real quality of place, yields real results. To the extent that they adopt a holistic approach to planning and build on a city's intrinsic strengths, they can accomplish miracles."--from the foreword by Richard Florida"This timely and approachable collection provides meaningful case studies and a wealth of topics for discussion in urban studies and redevelopment. Professionals and students in urban planning, government, and urban development will find this volume greatly interesting."--Robert M. Lau, associate editor of theCouncil on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat Journal
