A Bronx Profile

This issue focuses on New York real estate, planning and development in a borough that from the fifties through the early seventies was thought to be impossible to rescue from decay.  The Bronx of 2000 shows the role of government in establishing middle- and lower-income housing markets and in catalyzing the creation of housing for these sectors. But the questions of what has been accomplished and at what cost remain not just for the borough but for the future of all of New York.
