How can we help distressed neighborhoods recover from a generation
of economic loss and reposition themselves for success in today's
economy? While many have proposed solutions to the problems of
neighborhoods suffering from economic disinvestment, John Kromer
has actually put them to work successfully as Philadelphia's
housing director. Part war story, part how-to manual, and part
advocacy for more effective public policy, Neighborhood Recovery
describes how a blending of public-sector leadership and community
initiative can bring success to urban communities. Kromer's
framework for neighborhood recovery addresses issues such as*
neighborhood strategic planning* home ownership and financing* the
role of community-based organizations* public housing*
work-readiness and job training for neighborhood residents* housing
for homeless people and others with specialized needs* the
importance of advocacy in influencing and advancingneighborhood
reinvestment policy.Neighborhood Recovery presents a policy
approach that cities can use to improve the physical condition of
their neighborhoods and help urban residents compete for good jobs
in the metropolitan economy. Kromer's experience in Philadelphia
reveals challenges and opportunities that can decisively influence
the future of neighborhoods in many other American cities.
