Description
The Divided City: Poverty and Prosperity in Urban America Cities across America are experiencing unprecedented growth, but vast areas within them remain plagued by poverty. In this insightful analysis, urban practitioner Alan Mallach explores the transformation of industrial cities over the past 15 to 20 years, highlighting both successes and failures in addressing the challenges of change. Mallach examines the role of race in American cities, as well as the strategies employed by city governments, non-profit entities, and citizens to foster greater equality and opportunity. He argues that local, concrete approaches are essential for creating meaningful change, rather than relying on national plans or utopian schemes. This comprehensive book provides a balanced picture of the transformation of America's older industrial cities, grounded in the realities of these urban environments.
