Urban Politics
«
Levine’s 10th edition of Urban Politics remains a handbook for the practitioner concerned with using public policy to support sustainable cities with a "development triangle" of environmental, economic, and social goals. It supports a progressive urban agenda with practical examples and extensive research. In the current age, Levine’s unifying theme of power as "the ability to get things done" brings idealistic goals from blue skies down to the streets of America’s cities.

Thoroughly revised and rewritten, the new edition of Urban Politics provides a comprehensive view of urban development, contemporary urban politics, and urban issues. Its ample illustrations and boxed case material provide course instructors with substantial material for classroom discussion and student analysis.
