Unequal Partnerships explores urban development in American cities
since World War II. Gregory D. Squires and other contributors
examine what has long been a highly inequitable and destructive
process of urban development. They look at the political and social
assumptions and interests shaping redevelopment, the social and
economic costs of development for the vast majority of urban
residents, and alternative approaches emerging. The book begins
with an overview of the ideological forces that have shaped urban
economic development in the United States from the urban renewal
days of the 1950s and 1960s through the celebration of
public-private partnerships in the 1980s. Subsequent chapters
examine specific cities in light of the consequences of development
initiatives. These cities include those in declining rustbelt
regions that are struggling with the consequences of
deindustrialization (Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh,
Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, and Milwaukee), as well as growing
cities in the sunbelt (Louisville, New Orleans, Houston, and
Sacramento). The book concludes with a discussion of promising
policy alternatives. The contributors are David W. Bartelt, Larry
