Description: "Here is a collection of articles drawn from the pages of City Journal, the quarterly magazine. As Myron Magnet explains in his introduction to The Millennial City, these articles begin by rejecting the municipal welfare ideology that led cities to decades of failed social and economic policies, and to the growing discomfort of the vast majority of its citizens.

Instead the writers explore new approaches to crime and its prevention; the reform of welfare to end the notion of "entitlement" that has sabotaged generations of the poor; the reinvention of government to make it smaller, more responsive, and more effective; and new school initiatives that concentrate on students, not teachers, and emphasize performance."--BOOK JACKET.
