This book examines how privatization has transformed cities,
particularly through the role of Business Improvement Districts
(BIDs) in the revitalization of America's downtown. These
public-private partnerships between property owners and municipal
government have developed retail strips across the United States
into lifestyle and commercial hubs. BIDs are non-profit community
organizations with the public power to tax and spend on services in
their districts, but they are unelected bodies often operating in
the shadows of local government. They work as agents of economic
development, but are they democratic? What can we learn from BIDs
about the accountability of public-private partnerships, and how
they impact our lives as citizens? Unger explores these questions
of local democracy and urban political economy in this age of
rampant privatization and the reinvention of neighborhoods.
