Recenzii
"To govern democratically requires maneuvering among diverse passions and interests. Throgmorton deftly brings his readers into the midst of the delicate balances that must be negotiated so that cities can be effectively and justly governed. Co-Crafting the Just City is an impressive capstone to a career spent exploring the many pathways to the practices of progressive and democratic change." Robert A. Beauregard, Professor Emeritus, Columbia University, USA
"This insightful and complex account reveals how Jim Throgmorton struggled with class and economic inequalities, and with racial and cultural politics too, to craft a more inclusive, resilient and just city." John Forester, Professor, Cornell University, USA
"This book provides a much needed insiders’ view in political decision-making in a relatively small American city. The fine-grained story illustrates how a mayor with a planning background was instrumental in crafting the city’s future for the benefit of ordinary citizens." Louis Albrechts, Emeritus Professor of Planning, University of Leuven, Belgium
"This is a really valuable record, not just of the life of a Councillor and Mayor, but of the mechanics and dynamics of small town city government in the US. Throgmorton shows through his experience how cities are constructed through multiple webs of relations, and highlights the importance of building relationships and networks if new ideas and ways of working are to become established practices." Patsy Healey, Emeritus Professor of Planning, Newcastle University, UK

Descriere
This book explores how cities are much more than their economies, demographies, or geographies. The chapters explore planners and their role as protagonist in the humanities of literature and history; the inevitability of uncertainty in planning and how to face it; and how to attend to the physical, visual, and aural environment of the city.
