| Summary |
From Los Angeles to New York, the headlines from urban America proclaim riot, decline, and despair. This book is different. This book is about solutions: the Breakthroughs - the tentative, fragile, critical lead indicators that can serve as models for neighborhoods, communities, and cities looking toward the twenty-first century. In vivid, colorful, often provocative prose, nationally syndicated authors Neal Peirce and Robert Guskind describe six innovative experiments in urban revitalization, winners of the Rudy Bruner Award for Excellence in the Urban Environment. The Bruner Award recognizes and rewards innovative projects that blend empowerment, diversity, and equity with effective design, social responsibility, and economic viability. |
