For Great Cities

For GREAT CITIES…A Bold Initiative
Robert W. Bivens and John A. Bivens, Jr.

A “must read” new book of common sense solutions to critical city problems written by experienced professionals. This book proposes action programs that will uplift left-behind inner-city residents, build great cities, develop private-public partnerships, and pay for all of it with the ensuing development and increased tax base. Everyone interested in smart growth, decreased congestion, improved quality of life, and “catch-up education” will want copies of this book.

Comments on For GREAT CITIES…A Bold Initiative

Bob Bivens draws from his wealth of experience to show how many safe and successful downtown projects have been realized by private-public partnerships and how strong city centers can lead Americans into the new millennium.

GREAT CITIES…A BOLD INITIATIVE will give direction and inspiration to members of the public and private sectors who wish to revitalize their downtowns and slow urban sprawl.

I witnessed firsthand the tremendous power of a strong private downtown organization in a partnership with City, County, State and Federal governments. Bob’s vision and proposals for improving our downtowns are timely, creative and practical.
