levine, myron a. (2015). urban politics: cities and suburbs in a global age

'synopsis' may belong to another edition of this title. Boxed case studies of prominent recent and current urban development efforts provide material for class discussion, and concluding material demonstrates the tradeoff between more ideal and more pragmatic urban politics. The eighth edition is significantly shorter than previous editions, and the entire text has been thoroughly rewritten to engage students. A new chapter on globalization and its impact on cities brings the history of urban development up to date, and a focus on the politics of local economic development underscores how questions of economic development have come to dominate the local arena.

The eighth edition provides a comprehensive review and analysis of urban policy under the Obama administration and brand new coverage of sustainable urban development.
