Summary

As the dominant text in its field, this volume provides a comprehensive overview of urban management, including the environmental context, political structures, service delivery, management processes, and strategic planning and economic development. The authors orient students to the management literature as well as providing guidelines for effective urban management. This new edition has been updated throughout and addresses such concepts as "empowerment zones" and reinventing government.
