Faith in Neighborhoods Making Cities Work Through Grassroots Empowerment

In this book on successful urban empowerment, former Indianapolis mayor Stephen Goldsmith describes how he devolved key decisionmaking from city officials to grass-roots leaders and worked closely with neighborhood-based organizations to affect change.

As a way of illustrating Goldsmith's empowerment initiatives, the book also contains an in-depth case study of three Indianapolis neighborhoods by Hudson Institute research fellow Ryan Streeter.Goldsmith, Stephen is the author of 'Faith in Neighborhoods Making Cities Work Through Grassroots Empowerment' with ISBN 9781558133792 and ISBN 1558133798.
