Bibliography
The Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs (New York: Random House, 1963) is a critique of the profession and ideology of planning. Once hotly disputed, her charges against planning as an irrational and counter-productive process become more and more cogent as the general sense of crisis spreads in the cities.
Politics, Planning and the Public Interest by Martin Meyerson and Edward Banfield (New York: Free Press, 1955) is the first and best comprehensive study of the politics of public housing at the local level. It explored the structure of city politics and government, showing many of the reasons why public housing has turned out as it has.
Public Housing—The Politics of Poverty by Leonard Freedman (New York: Holt, 1969) is a general review since the 1949 legislation of the politics as well as the policies in housing. It is also an up-to-date evaluation of some of the black power and separatism issues that have entered the field.
