In New York for Sale Tom Angotti places his deep knowledge of New York's development policy, his years of active personal involvement, and his strategies for achieving greater equity within a sustained narrative. The book is welcome reading for everyone who has followed his incisive commentaries on development conflicts in the city over the years. His acute observations of the threat to community residents underlying the drive for 'global competitiveness' and his analysis of the tactics available to progressive community planners constitute essential reading for everyone concerned with using planning as a means to obtaining a more just and democratic city. --Susan S. Fainstein, Department of Urban Planning and Design, Harvard University Graduate School of Design New York for Sale is the book that progressive planners have been waiting for. It dynamites the myths of consensus planning and participatory planning while simultaneously offering hope for social and environmental justice via struggle, conflict, and genuine participatory democracy. --Leonie Sandercock, Professor in Urban Planning and Social Policy, University of British Columbia Too many books focus merely on the problems of center cities or propose planning solutions only applicable in greenfield sites. Angotti chronicles a significant alternative--the 100 or more community-based plans developed in New York City since the 1960s. This is an important and compelling story of 'urban policy from the bottom-up.' --Ann Forsyth, Department of City & Regional Planning, Cornell University New York for Sale is an insightful excursion through the neighborhoods of the neo-liberal city. Progressive yet dispassionate, this book is not simply an invaluable critique of the depredations of urban capital, it is laced with sensible and necessary prescriptions for the reassertion of the right to the city by those who make their lives here. --Michael Sorkin, Director, Graduate Urban Design Program, City College of New York
