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.
