<div><b>Abstract from the distributor : </b></div>
</div>
I used to live in Washington DC, not far from a place I learned to call the “U Street Corridor.” I really had no idea why it was a “corridor” (most places in DC are just “streets”) or why a lot of folks seemed to make a big deal out if it. Don’t get me wrong. It was nice. There are coffee shops, jazz clubs, and the place is full of beautiful late Victorian architecture. But I confess I really didn’t understand what the “U Street Corridor” was.<br />
<br />
Having read Blair Ruble‘s terrific <a target="_blank" href="http://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/ecom/MasterServlet/GetItemDetailsHandler?iN=9780801898006&qty=1&source=2&viewMode=3&loggedIN=false&JavaScript=y">Washington’s U Street: A Biography</a> (Johns Hopkins UP/Woodrow Wilson Center Press, 2010), I can confidently say that now I get it. U Street was arguably the first urban area in the post-bellum United States in which African Americans formed a vital, sophisticated, wealthy, and identifiably modern “negro” (as they would have said) culture. Today we take it for granted that African Americans make a vital contribution to the cultural life (though not only that) of the United States. At the end of the Civil War, that wasn’t so. The vast majority of Blacks were southern, rural, and poor. If they appeared on the stage of national culture (and they almost never did), it was through the devices of minstrels in black-face. As Ruble points out, all that changed on U Street in the early 20th century, the birthplace of modern African American culture. Now I know, and I’m glad I do. Read the book, and you’ll know too.</div>

<b>Extract from the Introduction : </b></div>
</div>
The Comparative Urban Studies Project at the Woodrow Wilson Center began a project in 1997 designed to both identify factors that contribute to making urban areas centers of violence and poverty and propose policy recommendations for improvements and making urban areas more sustainable. Population growth, resource stress, environmental degradation, social fragmentation, communal violence, and international crime were identified by the Center's research group as critical challenges for urban areas throughout the world. The group then concluded that ensuring that cities more effectively meet the needs of their citizens is directly related to the way in which they are governed.</div>

<b>Extract from the introduction by Lisa M. Hanley, Blair A. Ruble and Joseph S. Tulchin :</b></div>
</div>
Globalization has had a peculiar impact on cities all over the world, as much in the developed world as in the developing world. Globalization turned out to be an assault on the urban middle class. As the state shrank while the migration into the city continued, competition with the city together with the competition among cities increasingly became a race to the bottom. <br />
<br />
The process of a hollowing out of the global urban middle class and the degradation of the working poor was perhaps most visible in Latin America and socialist East Europe, regions in which moderate prosperity had become inexorably linked to the state. <br />
<br />
The chapters to follow attempt to tell the story of what this new poverty means for the people involved and for their cities and communities, and to do so through a parallel examination of how these changes have affected the functioning of urban communities in two regions arguably most affected by macro-economic policies imposed from the outside: Latin America and Post-Socialist Eastern Europe.</div>

An account of the resource
<b>Extract from the foreword by Stanley Scott and Victor Jones : <br />
</b></div>
</div>
The Lane series of books — of which this Leningrad volume is the eighth and most recent — is sponsored by the Institute of Governmental Studies and the Institute of International Studies, and examines similarities and differences in metropolitan policy-making in various nations and cultures. Of principal concern is how policies affect the metropolis, including its social needs, economy, land use, physical structure, and natural and man-made environment. Emphasis is on the ways in which political and administrative processes and institutions adapt to changes in the urban condition and respond to national and international influences. What organizational structures and policies govern major metropolitan regions? What new or modified organizations and policies are being urged? By whom, and to what purpose? Under what conditions can life in the metropolis become more satisfying and productive, or less dreary and economically marginal? How can educational, cultural, and intellectual objectives best be promoted?</div>
