What They're Saying
Critics Review
Downtown, Inc. is a solid book with plenty of background… [Its] densely detailed case studies celebrate flexibility and innovation on both sides of the increasingly blurry public-private debate.
—Harold Henderson, PlanningDowntown, Inc. represents the most insightful commentary on up-to-the-minute urban development that has appeared to date. Moreover, this is a book in which the words ‘government’ and ‘successful’ actually appear in the same sentence.
—Edward A. Schwartz, New York Times Book ReviewAbout The Author
