Description: "This book presents the immense problems and the enormity of the tasks confronting those who lead the world's large cities, whether in the developing, transitional or industrialized worlds. This book focuses on urban employment, and on what cities can do to create jobs at the local level. The underlying thesis is that creating and protecting employment can be the determining factor in easing, if not resolving, the multidimensional crisis faced by many cities worldwide."--BOOK JACKET.
