Autorenporträt
Dr. Monti is professor of public policy studies at Saint Louis University. He is the author of over 50 scholarly articles and six books on subjects ranging from educational reform and inner-city redevelopment to youth gangs, and American urban history and civic culture. He currently is working on a textbook dealing with urban life, an edited book on the culture of entrepreneurship, and a book detailing the redevelopment of Saint Louis that will constitute the longest ongoing study of inner-city redevelopment ever undertaken. His earlier research on business and civic ties led to his creation of two technical assistance programs for small businesses that are attempting to grow: InnerCity Entrepreneurs in Boston and Entry in St. Louis. A former Woodrow Wilson Fellow and member of the Missouri State Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights, Professor Monti has consulted with private companies and agencies of the federal government.
