Excerpt from Comprehensive Plan of Newark The subjects herein discussed should have the atten tion of all citizens and particularly of those on whom rests the responsibility for the wise and helpful development of our city, for the realization, that is, of a comprehensive city plan - the Mayor, the Common Council, the Board of Street and Water Commissioners, and others. We considered the plan presented as tentative, since it represents the convictions of a group of citizens without executive power. It is published in the hope that it will call forth criticisms and suggestions; that it will receive in due course all proper revision; that it will in time be officially approved, and then will be adopted by the com munity through a referendum.

In The Divided City, urban practitioner and scholar Alan Mallach presents a detailed picture of what has happened over the past 15 to 20 years in industrial cities like Pittsburgh and Baltimore, as they have undergone unprecedented, unexpected revival. He spotlights these changes while placing them in their larger economic, social and political context. Most importantly, he explores the pervasive significance of race in American cities, and looks closely at the successes and failures of city governments, nonprofit entities, and citizens as they have tried to address the challenges of change. The Divided City concludes with strategies to foster greater equality and opportunity, firmly grounding them in the cities' economic and political realities.
