Urban America

This volume explores topics relating to urban reform by presenting varied expert opinions that examine many of the different aspects that comprise these issues. Urban reform refers to a loosely knit set of municipal government and citizen group initiatives directed at improving city life. The viewpoints are selected from a wide range of highly respected and often hard-to-find sources and publications, which allows readers to attain the higher-level critical thinking and reading skills that are essential in a culture of diverse and contradictory opinions.
