Description
The New Localism: How Cities Can Thrive in the Age of Populism By Bruce Katz and Jeremy Nowak Hardcover, 290 pages, published 2017. In an era marked by shifting power and global challenges, cities are emerging as key players in addressing social, economic, and environmental issues. Urban experts Bruce Katz and Jeremy Nowak explore how local communities can harness this new power to create positive change. They examine the stories of cities that are pioneering innovative solutions, such as Pittsburgh's inclusive growth initiatives and Copenhagen's waterfront redevelopment. This book provides a roadmap for urban leaders and policymakers seeking to address pressing challenges like economic competitiveness, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. By understanding the role of localism in shaping modern societies, readers can gain valuable insights into how cities can thrive in the face of populism and national dysfunction.
