Bringing the Third World home
The centerpiece of the Reagan urban program is a development scheme called “enterprise zones.” The plan would offer extra tax and regulatory concessions to induce business to invest in depressed areas. The problem is that Reagan has already given away so much of business’ tax base that he has little left to offer. The enterprise zone idea leads logically to concessions by the only group left with much to concede — workers. Trade unionists are alr…

Saving Our Cities: A Progressive Plan to Transform Urban America
In Saving Our Cities, William W. Goldsmith shows how cities can be places of opportunity rather than places with problems. With strongly revived cities and suburbs, working as places that serve all their residents, metropolitan areas will thrive, thus making the national economy more productive, the environment better protected, the citizenry better educated, and the society more reflective, sensitive, and humane.Goldsmith argues that America has…
The Drug War and Inner-City Neighborhoods
In depressed big-city neighborhoods, the drug trade serves as a key business, creating local jobs and income but at the same time introducing danger and stress. Besides drug sales or drug use, nearly all of the troublesome effects of drugs in the neighborhoods come from their illegality. This article focuses on the coexistence of a drug economy with neighborhood violence. It reports the size of the U.S. drug economy and its fiscal burdens. It als…

What's Under the Bed? City, Pasta, or Commie: Reflections on Teaching American Students in Italy
This paper reports on the author's experience teaching urban studies and planning to 20 North American undergraduates in Rome. For these students, the contrasts between the U.S. city and the European city provided great intellectual stimulation and outweighed the cultural contrasts. The experience of seeing and using the benefits of social democracy, or its still functioning remnants, was powerfully impressive. The students developed a sensitivit…
The Metropolis and Globalization: The Dialectics of Racial Discrimination, Deregulation, and Urban Form
Global economic changes affect the shape of cities. But in this article, the author sees the reverse effect: The shape of the city influences the global economy. This article argues that the peculiar spatial form of the U.S. metropolis, by pulling on a six-link chain of social forces, drags down the global economy. In an ironic twist, this puts European cities in trouble. In brief, racial segregation degrades U.S. politics, leading to acceptance …

Enterprise Zones in the United States: Lessons From International Experience
A criticism of the potential use of the enterprise zone concept in the U.S. is presented. Following from the new inter national division of labor and its exploita tion by capitalist economies, an analysis of the distributional impacts of platform economies is outlined. Enterprise zones appear to be a deleterious policy for the U.S for three reasons: (1) wages in the U.S cannot be cut so low so that workers could compete with their counterparts in…

A Bibliography on Public Planning in Puerto Rico
One must always make a special case for presenting puerto rican along with other Latin American studies. With public planning this is even more true. Puerto Rico is, after all, legally a part of the United States, and for many decades its well-being has been intimately tied to both general conditions in the U.S. and to U.S. policies, even those not directed specifically at Puerto Rico. For these reasons, planning by the government of Puerto Rico …
