Assembling a rich history and analysis of large-scale, private and
voluntary, community-based provision of social services, urban
infrastructure, and community governance, this book provides
suggestions on how to restore the vitality of city life.
Historically, the city was considered a center of commerce,
knowledge, and culture, a haven for safety and a place of
opportunity. Today, however, cities are widely viewed as centers
for crime, homelessness, drug wars, business failure,
impoverishment, transit gridlock, illiteracy, pollution,
unemployment, and other social ills. In many cities, government
increasingly dominates life, consuming vast resources to cater to
special-interest groups. This book reveals how the process of
providing local public goods through the dynamism of freely
competitive, market-based entrepreneurship is unmatched in renewing
communities and strengthening the bonds of civil society.
