Twentieth-Century Pittsburgh, Volume Two

Roy Lubove, was professor of social welfare and history at the University of Pittsburgh and the author of several books, including: The Progressives and the Slums; Social Welfare in Transition: Selected English Documents, 1834Ð1909and Community Planning in the 1920s: The Contribution of the Regional Planning Association of America.

The book broadens our understanding of how late-twentieth-century American cities are adjusting to declining regional industries. It may serve as a model for additional analysis of the impact and direction of postindustrial economic forces and for evaluation of the important policy choices facing political, business, and cultural leaders.
