Inhaltsangabe:

Growing global inequality is often at its most stark in cities—and cities themselves are often seen as powerless to affect the problem, which is driven more by national and global trends than by local policies. While acknowledging the difficulties cities face, Leading the Inclusive City mounts a powerful case that cities do have tools at their disposal for ameliorating inequality, advancing social justice, promoting environmental responsibility, and bolstering community empowerment. Using examples from cities around the world, Robin Hambleton educates and inspires, offering practical ideas for local leaders who want to change urban life for the better.
