Recenzje

After the Projects is a significant addition to the literature on both public housing and urban redevelopment. The audience forthis book is broad and, because it is so well written, it is accessible to practitioners and academics (historians, political economists, and planners). The book is appropriate for graduate courses thatfocus on the history of public housing and the examination of urban redevelopment under theneoliberal policy
