Produktbeschreibung

Andrew M. Manshel helped transform New York’s Bryant Park from a blighted eyesore to a vibrant destination, then applied its strategies to an equally successful renewal project in a very different neighborhood: Jamaica, Queens. Here, he candidly describes what does (and doesn’t) work when coordinating urban redevelopment projects.
