Download or read book Privatism and Urban Policy in Britain and the United States written by Timothy Kiel Barnekov and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1989 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demonstrating how cities in the United Kingdom appear to be following the American patterns of urban policy, even as far as the language used, this book compares urban policy and programs in both countries. The authors show that the parallels between these two approaches rest on the market-oriented, small government political foundations of both countries, but that these political similarities obscure significant differences which will make transatlantic urban policy and program transfer more difficult.
