Comeback Cities: A Blueprint for Urban Neighborhood Revival
by Paul S. Grogan

Comeback Cities shows how a blend of innovative public-private partnerships, grassroots nonprofit organizations, and a willingness to experiment can result in effective urban problem solving.

Paul Grogan has been involved in efforts to revitalize America's cities for over twenty years. He directed Boston's community development and housing effort under Mayors Kevin White and Raymond Flynn, and for thirteen years was President of the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, the nation's largest private non-profit devoted to community development. He now serves as Harvard University's Vice President for Government, Community and Public Affairs.

Tony Proscio is a former associate editor of the Miami Herald and a consultant to foundations and non-profit organizations on urban affairs and economic development. He has served as a senior official on urban issues for both New York City and the state of New York.

"From years of experience, Paul Grogan and Tony Proscio explain what impatient mayors and professional protestors are slow to learn. Urban decline can't be reversed in a single stroke. Here, they analyze the forces behind the new and encouraging progress in America's "comeback cities". And they size up the obstacles that remain in our way."
--Mayor Thomas M. Menino, Boston
