In Managing Urban America, Eighth Edition, the authors guide students through the politics of urban management-doing less with more while managing conflict, delivering goods and services, responding to federal and state mandates, adapting to changing demographics, and coping with economic and budgetary challenges.

  • evaluates the concept of e-government, and offers numerous examples in both theory and practice
  • considers environmental issues and the implications for urban government management
  • includes new case studies, including some with a global perspective as the authors examine the management of international cities
  • thoroughly updates all data and scholarship.
