Böcker av Edward J. Blakely

The award-winning book on urban poverty--now thoroughly revised and updated

Gated communities are a new ""hot button"" in many North American cities. From Boston to Los Angeles and from Miami to Toronto citizens are taking sides in the debate over whether any neighborhood should be walled and gated, preventing intrusion or inspection by outsiders.

This book integrates planning, policy, economics, and urban design into an approach to crafting innovative places.

My Storm is a firsthand account of a critical sixteen months in the post-Katrina recovery process. It tells how Blakely, as Katrina recovery czar, endeavored to transform the shell of a cherished American city into a city that could not only survive but thrive.
