Jameson Doig was a professor emeritus of politics and public affairs at Princeton. Doig earned a doctorate in politics at Princeton before joining the faculty in 1961. Doig's research and writing focused primarily on transportation politics, and he was author or co-author of several books in the field, including "New York: The Politics of Urban Regional Development," and "Empire on the Hudson: Entrepreneurial Vision and Political Power at the Port of New York Authority." Topics covered include Government and Urban Development, Development in the New York Region, Maximizing Internal Benefits, Minimizing Outside Intervention, Political Actors of Regional Scope, Concentrating Resources on Highway Development, Mass Transportation and the Limited Capabilities of Government; Concentrating Resources in the Older Cities; Urban Renewal: Political Skill and Constituency Pressures; and Patterns of Government Action. This volume is the fourth in the Franklin K. Lane series on the governance of major metropolitan regions. The series is sponsored by the Institute of Governmental Studies and the Institute of International Studies, University of California in Berkeley. Readers of these volumes and other relevant literature will no doubt agree with the authors of this book that similar patterns are found in New York, London, Toronto, Stockholm, and indeed in "every other major metropolitan region in the United States and in other advanced industrial societies." The presence of such common factors and trends, although they assume different configurations in various metropolitan regions, has been demonstrated by the work of many scholars, including Peter Hall, Brian Berry, Marion Clawson, Jean Gottmann, Larry Bourne and William Robson, as well as by the authors of the other Franklin K. Lane books-Donald Foley, Albert Rose and Thomas Anton. In the present volume Michael Danielson and Jameson Doig have described and analyzed the cultural, economic, political and other social forces shaping development in the New York region. They present a picture of a region singular in its attractions, problems, geographic scope, magnitude of development, and complexity of the network of organizations involved in its governance.
