Description
Book SynopsisIn this thought-provoking book, Sylvia Bashevkin examines the consequences of divergent restructuring experiences in London and Toronto.
Trade Review"Lucid, succinct, and highly accessible. Readers with an interest in urban affairs will find this book of great value, while its women-centred approach to urban citizenship will appeal to urban analysts and their students in a range of disciplines. The author's comparative analysis of the social, political, and cultural characteristics of two cities that have recently experienced governmental reform is particularly compelling." - Nirmala Rao, co-author of Governing London"
