Editorial Reviews

Review

"Every mayor, every governor, every county executive, indeed anyone who cares about our great but ailing cities ought to read it." -- John Gallagher, Detroit Free Press, reviewing a previous edition or volume



"The evidence that Rusk has marshaled here makes a clear and cogent case that the survival of many American cities depends on making city and suburb one." -- Witold Rybczynski, New York Review of Books, reviewing a previous edition or volume



"This book is MUST reading." -- John C. Lowe, Journal of the American Planning Association, reviewing a previous edition or volume



Product Description

Cities without Suburbs, first published in 1993, has become an influential analysis of America's cities among city planners, scholars, and citizens alike. In it, David Rusk, the former mayor of Albuquerque, argues that America must end the isolation of the central city from its suburbs in order to attack its urban problems.

The second edition not only employs updated census data available since publication of the first edition, but it provides more precise information about population, income, and racial trends in central cities. Updated case studies of metropolitan reforms are based on Rusk's direct involvement as a consultant in over fifty metro areas since the publication of the first edition.
