Taylor & Francis City Politics The Political Economy Of Urban America 10Th Edition by Dennis R. Judd

Praised for the clarity of its writing, careful research, and distinctive theme - that urban politics in the United States has evolved as a dynamic interaction between governmental power, private actors, and a politics of identity - City Politics remains a classic study of urban politics. Its enduring appeal lies in its persuasive explanation, careful attention to historical detail, and accessible and elegant way of teaching the complexity and breadth of urban and regional politics which unfold at the intersection of spatial, cultural, economic, and policy dynamics. Now in a thoroughly revised tenth edition, this comprehensive resource for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as well-established researchers in the discipline, retains the effective structure of past editions while offering important updates, including: _x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_All-new sections on immigration, the Black Lives Matter Movement, the downtown condo boom, and the impact of the sharing economy on urban neighborhoods (especially the rise of Airbnb)._x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Individual chapters introducing students to pressing urban issues such as gentrification, sustainability, metropolitanization, urban crises, the creative class, shrinking cities, racial politics, and suburbanization. _x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_The most recent census data integrated throughout to provide current figures for analysis, discussion, and a more nuanced understanding of current trends._x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Taught on its own, or supplemented with the optional reader American Urban Politics in a Global Age for more advanced readers, City Politics remains the definitive text on urban politics - and how they have evolved in the US over time - for a new generation of students and researchers._x000D_ _x000D_ Preface _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ 1.
