Abstract:

There are no quick and easy solutions to the urban predicament. But there are a number of things that may provide some relief to the troubled cities of the Northeast and North Central sectors of the country. Among them: greater voter participation in budget making; a federal takeover of welfare; more state aid; and incentives to lure middle-income people back to the city.
