Urban Economic Development

The Reagan administration's emphasis on national economic growth, coupled with decentralization of economic development activity and cutbacks in federally financed programmes, has encouraged greater cooperation between the public and private sectors to expand the economic base of urban areas. Urban Economic Development, Volume 27 of the Urban Affairs Annual Reviews, discusses the effectiveness of various policies which aim to stimulate private sector activity in urban areas. It examines urban enterprise zones; grants and investments; federal, state and local development programmes; and four case studies of city projects.Bingham, Richard D. is the author of 'Urban Economic Development', published 1984 under ISBN 9780803919983 and ISBN 0803919980.
