Synopsis

Drawn from the pages of City Journal, the quarterly magazine that has established a reputation for pathbreaking analytical reports on the urban scene, The Millenial City explores new approaches to crime and its prevention; the reform of welfare; the reinvention of government; and new school initiatives. The book also takes on issues of economy, housing, homelessness, immigrants, quality of life, and the physical environment. City Journal is the great Fool Killer in the arena of urban policy. It's more than sharp and penetrating. It's a joy to read. ―Tom Wolfe

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Throughout America, cities are on the rebound, thriving as they have not in generations. While successful cities have had their own special formulas for revival, they appear to have in common a clear set of principles that lead to urban health. This blueprint forms the foundation for Myron Magnet's penetrating collection of articles drawn from the pages of City Journal, the quarterly magazine that has established a reputation for pathbreaking analytical reports on the urban scene. Among other topics, The Millennial City explores new approaches to crime and its prevention; the reform of welfare to end the notion of "entitlement"; the reinvention of government to make it smaller and more effective; and new school initiatives that emphasize performance.
