"Richardson Dilworth and Timothy P. R. Weaver are absolutely right to call for greater attention to the role of ideas in urban political development, and they present their argument effectively. The essays in this volume illustrate convincingly that we cannot understand key episodes in urban political development without attention to ideas." (Jack Lucas, University of Calgary) "This far-ranging collection of essays makes an eloquent, powerful case for the importance of ideas in urban governance. Richardson Dilworth and Timothy P. R. Weaver's volume points the way toward vital new areas of research in urban politics and history." (Mason B. Williams, Williams College)
