From the Back Cover:

"In Cities on the Rebound, Bill Hudnut displays the same wisdom, balance, and determination to find solutions that made him such a success as mayor of Indianapolis. His description of the entrepreneurial American city that must adjust to change by encouraging partnership, collaboration, diversity, and a global vision among its citizens is right on target. Without sugarcoating the serious challenges facing cities, Hudnut accurately forecasts a future of hope for urban America." --Mayor Dennis Archer, Detroit, Michigan

"Bill Hudnut is one of the great American mayors of the last 25 years. In this book, he shares the fundamentals of a successful city that he learned while mayor of Indianapolis, our 12th largest city. Visionary leadership embraces the Information Age, builds public/private partnerships, embraces diversity of citizen participation, acts globally and regionally, reinvents bureaucratic institutions, and substitutes smart growth for urban sprawl. This is a 21st-century recipe for urban success." --David Osborne, coauthor, Reinventing Government and Banishing Bureaucracy

"Bill Hudnut not only knows what policies cities need to pursue to be successful, but also know how to put them into place as he did when he led Indianapolis as its mayor. We now can all benefit from his wisdom and insight through his new book, Cities on the Rebound. It is an important contribution to our quest for successful urban governance." --Mayor Greg Lashutka, Columbus, Ohio, and past president, The National League of Cities

"Bill Hudnut is both a visionary and a practitioner. In Cities on the Rebound, he presents with contagious optimism a clear picture of the changing role of cities and suggests strategies for success in the 21st century. I highly recommend his new book for all who are interested in emerging urban forms." --Smedes York, former mayor, Raleigh, North Carolina, and former president, ULI--the Urban Land Institute, Washington, D.C.
