About This Item
New York City, NY: Random House, 1969. Hardcover 8vo green cloth boards with blue decoration and gilt lettering on spine in illustrated dust jacket, 168 pp. Very good, strong binding and clean boards, slightest soiling to top edge and mild cant to rear board./Very good, very mild scraping to ends of spine, gentle crease down center, publisher's sticker on back, otherwise formidable jacket.. The question of survival for cities was a true passion of Jane Jacobs, who possibly interrogated cracks in the sidewalk for answers to how and why some thrive and others rust. Some tried macro- and microeconomics theories are challenged in this analysis of the urban economy, it's offshoots and back again.
