At a time of intense urban civil unrest in the United States, this
classic text by Milton Kotler was the first to forcefully
demonstrate how governance on the neighborhood level could allow
Americans to regain liberty and the right to govern their own
lives. Kotler's original project showed how towns-once independent
but then later annexed by adjacent cities-became exploited by
centralized downtown power. As relevant today as it was when
originally published in 1969, Neighborhood Government continues to
speak to American cities whose faces have been radically changed by
immigration, urban sprawl, and communities fractured by pervasive
economic and racial inequality. With a new critical foreword by
Terry L. Cooper that places the text within contemporary debates
and a new foreword and afterword from the author, Neighborhood
Government continues to be a vital work for anyone interested in
the economic, social, and political health of American cities and
the continuing struggle to increase community investment and
control.
