Community Builders: A Tale of Neighborhood Mobilization in Two Cities

Conflicts in Urban and Regional Development

by Gordana Rabrenovic

In the 1980s, the failure of corporate strategies and trickle-down economics led to gross inequalities among many US neighbourhoods and cities. Examining and comparing a gentrifying and a low-income neighbourhood in two medium-sized cities, this book shows how the problems they faced are typical of a number of neighbourhoods nationwide.

This book is very strong theoretically and is well-written. I did wish for a stronger focus on the process by which individual groups in both cities initiated change.
