Fellow Tom Angotti’s new book New York For Sale: Community Planning Confronts Global Real Estate, will be published by the MIT Press in April 2011. Angotti’s 323-page tome can be pre-ordered now online. Says Harvard’s Susan Fainstein: “[Angotti's] 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.”
