About this product

Product Information

America's cities can be saved-so says Indianapolis Mayor Stephen Goldsmith. As the mayor of America's twelfth largest city, he eliminated city deficits, cut the city payroll, enhanced services, rebuilt infrastructure, revitalized neighborhoods, and reduced crime. And he did it all while cutting taxes Now, in The Twenty-First Century City, Goldsmith shows how he did it. The Twenty-First Century City gives a hopeful glimpse of the city of the future-a city where less bureaucratic intervention means lower costs, safer streets, and better services. Mayor Goldsmith has proved that by using this new philosophy of urban governance-of government acting as a business and perceiving its citizens as customers-America's cities can once again buzz with the sounds of success.

Reviews
Mayor Goldsmith's book is an intelligent, pragmatic, and instructive road map for governing into the next century, written by one of America's most innovative mayors., In Indianapolis, Mayor Stephen Goldsmith has demonstrated that expanding private enterprise, not government, is key to efficient, high quality services and, more importantly, to the empowerment of the city's residents. Now the rest of America's great cities, and the nation as a whole, can benefit from his proven experience with The Twenty-First Century City., Mayor Goldsmith is one of a group of urban mayors who are reforming local government in many of the nation's major cities by moving beyond traditional party politics and solving problems pragmatically., Stephen Goldsmith is one of the most effective, innovative mayors in American history. This book is an inspiring combination of vision and get-the-job-done practicality written by a man who is quietly accomplishing the near-miraculous in a major city., Stephen Goldsmith has been a pioneer in simultaneously increasing the effectiveness and reducing the cost of city government.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
