"A “must read” new book of common sense
solutions to critical city problems by experienced
professions, showing how sick cities can
be revitalized, their left-behind inner-city
residents rescued, with exciting new developments
paying the tab."
By Robert W. and John A. Bivens, Jr.
FOR GREAT CITIES…A Bold Initiative is
about the health and well-being of our cities
that affect everyone. This book is unique
in that it proposes action programs that
will uplift left-behind inner-city residents,
build great cities, and pay for all of it
with the resulting surge of quality development,
economic activity, and increased tax base.
This message is intended for national leaders
in business, finance, development, education,
retraining, sports, religion, transportation,
healthcare, entertainment, and most importantly,
governments at all levels.
