BOOK EXCERPT:
"This is an important and timely book. With half of humanity living in cities, our future will depend on how well we manage our cities. This book poses six inter-generational challenges to cities. If a city deals successfully with them, it will become a living, thriving, prosperous and delightful place to live, work and visit."

BOOK EXCERPT:
This new gathering of essays stands as an authoritative and up-to-date overview of the urban experience in the developing areas of the globe. Twenty-nine contributors--established experts on urbanization from the fields of anthropology, architecture, economics, geography, political science, psychology, and sociology--offer general reviews and case studies, many comparative in time or space. While Gugler's earlier collection is arranged by region, this book is organized in terms of the principal issues in urbanization: development theory and policy, rural-to-urban migration, urban employment structures, forms of social integration and control, the housing question, and the local and national politics played out in the urban arena. Cities of the Developing World offers much to those interested in the research of burgeoning cities, as well as those curious about how such research can best be reported, evaluated, and examined.

BOOK EXCERPT:
THE LIVING CITY "An intelligent analysis. Sensible, undoctrinaire, even good-humored. An appealing mixture of passion and clinical dispassion."-Washington Post Book World "The best antidote I've read to the doom-and-gloom prophecies concerning the future of urban America."-Bill Moyers "This is fresh and fascinating material; it is essential for understanding not only how to avoid repeating terrible mistakes of the past, but also how to recover from them."-Jane Jacobs, author of The Death and Life of Great American Cities From coast to coast across America there are countless urban success stories about rejuvenated neighborhoods and resurgent business districts. Roberta Brandes Gratz defines the phenomenon as "urban husbandry"-the care, management, and preservation of the built environment nurtured by genuine participatory planning efforts of government, urban planners, and average citizens.
