A major theoretical contribution that will reshape how we think about city politics. Definitely a path breaker. -- Clarence Stone, author of Regime Politics: Governing Atlanta, 1946-1988.Ferman views urban politics from the streets of the city's neighborhoods. The result is a vivid picture that opens up possibilities for the revival of progressive urban policy and the flowering of democratic civic action. -- Todd Swanstrom, author of The Crisis of Growth Politics.Urban politics often features the conflict between pro-growth coalitions, centred around downtown developments, and a neighbouhood component. This study examines why neighbourhood challenges to pro-growth politics were more successful in Pittsburgh than Chicago.
