The New Localism: How Cities Can Thrive in the Age of Populism by Jeremy Nowak, Bruce Katz

1.0

Aggressively dull to read, and the teased connection relating New Localism to the new populist movement is completely unaddressed. A cheap, awful grab of a claim to put on the book to turn heads.

The arguments made here, of which I mostly agree, could have been summed up in a few paragraphs - not several hundred pages. This book is not necessary, and written as drearily as it is, does the concepts discussed within a disservice.
