“Alan Mallach examines the crucial relationships between states and their constituent cities, illustrates how states have hindered equitable revitalization, and offers principles to guide state policy reform with an intentional focus on racial equity—namely, how urban revitalization can benefit low-income residents and communities of color, not just elites and commuters. . . . Mallach lays out successful strategies for public leaders to become true partners in bringing about inclusive, equitable revitalization through state policy.”

“This is a must-read for both the practitioner and the theorist when it comes to analyzing best practices, creating and implementing policy, and how states can catalyze municipal urban revitalization by enabling flexible fiscal policy. Alan Mallach once again provides us with state-of-the-art analysis of these issues. Moreover, he suggests clear recommendations for making state and local governments better partners.”
— Gus Frangos, President, Ohio Land Bank Association and Cuyahoga Land Bank
