Abstract
The imminent financial collapse of America's great cities, widely predicted only a few short years ago, seems, for now, to have been averted. Professor Nivola lucidly explores the causes and currents leading to this widespread prediction of an urban apocalypse, examines the contrasting social-science interpretations of the roots of the urban crisis, and explores the political strategies used to avert collapse. In the course of his discussion he has much of interest to say regarding urban politics, public-sector unionism, and the politics of crisis management.
