Description: "Empowerment in Chicago asks and answers the hard questions about Chicago's early experience with the EZ process. It provides an overview and history of the Empowerment Zone initiative as an economic development strategy. It provides a wealth of information about economic growth, job development, quality of life, and citizen participation in Chicago's Empowerment Zone, Enterprise Communities, and other communities in the Chicago metropolitan area.

Perhaps most importantly, Empowerment in Chicago systematically examines what has gone right and wrong with the Empowerment Zones process."--BOOK JACKET.
