Peter Hendee Brown
The University of Pennsylvania Press, Philadelphia, 2009
"Brown’s skillful and well-documented book succeeds both as a work of scholarship and a provocative story.”
_____________________________________________________________
"Highly recommended."
_____________________________________________________________
“America's Waterfront Revival is a well-written, well-edited and well-illustrated discussion of redevelopment concepts, strategies and cases. “
_____________________________________________________________
“Overall, I found Brown’s book to be one of the most interesting windows I have found in the planning literature for understanding how public authorities evolve over time and how their powers and ability to perform are impacted by legislation, board composition, political independence, labor unions, economic trends, and increasing diversity of their city’s constituents."
