Joseph A. Rodriguez critically examines the urban design and revitalization initiatives undertaken by both the government and the people of Milwaukee; Wisconsin. In the 1990s; New Urbanists followed a city tradition of using urban design to solve problems while seeking to elevate the city’s national reputation and status. While New Urbanism was not the only design element undertaken to further Milwaukee’s redevelopment; the elite focus on New Urbanism reflected an attempt to fashion a self-help narrative for the revitalization of the city. This approach linked New Urbanist design to the strengthening of grassroots community organizing and volunteerism to solve urban problems. Bootstrap New Urbanism: Design; Race; and Redevelopment in Milwaukee uncovers a practice with implications for urban history; architectural history; planning history; environmental design; ethnic studies; and urban politics.

Death; Bones and Stately HomesBy June StewartI give five stars to all of Valerie Malmonts "Tori Miracle" series. I have lived in south central Pennsylvania for the last two years; where I retired. I lived here twenty years ago. Valerie Malmont captures the flavor of all of the people that live in these tiny towns surrounding the area of the basis for her series. She is one of the most quick witted authors I have read in a long while and I hope she continues the series with all the mystery involved in Toris adventurous life. And; please; keep the unusual names coming. They struck my "funny bone" right away; because my maiden name was a doozy that meant horses foot.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
