Mega-projects : the changing politics of urban public investment by
Alan A Altshuler(
)
18 editions published in 2003 in English and held by 2,158 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"In Mega-Projects Alan Altshuler and David Luberoff analyze the unprecedented wave of large-scale (mega- ) public investments that occurred in American cities during the 1950s and 1960s; the social upheavals they triggered, which derailed large numbers of projects during the late 1960s and early 1970s; and the political impulses that have shaped a new generation of urban mega-projects in the decades since. They also appraise the most important consequences of policy shifts over this half-century and draw out common themes from the rich variety of programmatic and project developments that they chronicle." "In comparing their findings with leading theories of urban and American politics, Altshuler and Luberoff arrive at some surprising findings about which perform best and also reveal some important gaps in the literature as a whole. In a concluding chapter, they examine the potential effects of new fiscal pressures, business mobilization to relax environmental constraints, and security concerns in the wake of September 11. And they make clear their own views about how best to achieve a balance between developmental, environmental, and democratic values in public investment decisionmaking."--Jacket

Community control : the black demand for participation in large American cities by
Alan A Altshuler(
Book
)
11 editions published between 1970 and 1972 in English and held by 895 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In this book, Chapter 1, "The Issues," discusses such questions as: Would community control be a step toward racial separatism, intensify social friction, be anti-libertarian, be inimical to government honesty, equity, and professionalism, reduce the capacity of local government for vigorous action and for action based on citywide considerations, or, prove a dead end for blacks themselves? Chapter 2, "The Framework," focuses on the ideal of widespread political participation, the exclusion of blacks from full membership in American society, the persistence of ethnicity in American society, political decentralization, and the American unwillingness to forego political representation in dealing with political bureaucracies. Chapter 3 discusses the concrete interests of those opposing and proposing community control. Chapter 4, "Plausible Options," analyzes the problems of defining neighborhoods, establishing mechanisms of representation and accountability, and the general areas of finance, personnel, and contracting. Chapter 5, "a Personal Statement," discusses the following questions: Would community control be conducive to racial peace, to the development of black skills and incomes, and to the improvement of other conditions in the ghettos?
