Redlining To Reinvestment (Conflicts in Urban and Regional Development)

After decades of suffering redlining and disinvestment by financial institutions, many communities have learned to fight back successfully. In more than seventy U.S. cities, over three hundred community-based organizations have negotiated at least $18 billion in reinvestment commitments in recent years. From Redlining to Reinvestment tells the stories of some of the most successful reinvestment campaigns in Boston, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Atlanta, and California. In original essays, well-known community activists and activist academics identify the tactics and strategies that have proven effective and show how these efforts have been duplicated around the country.Gregory Squires is the author of 'Redlining To Reinvestment (Conflicts in Urban and Regional Development)', published 1992 under ISBN 9780877229858 and ISBN 0877229856.
