These public-private partnerships between property owners and municipal government have developed retail strips across the United States into lifestyle and commercial hubs. BIDs are non-profit community organizations with the public power to tax and spend on services in their districts, but they are unelected bodies often operating in the shadows of local government. They work as agents of economic development, but are they democratic? What can we learn from BIDs about the accountability of public-private partnerships, and how they impact our lives as citizens? Unger explores these questions of local democracy and urban political economy in this age of rampant privatization and the reinvention of neighborhoods. 001358141 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001358141 650_0 $$aSpecial districts$$zNew York (State)$$zNew York. 001358141 650_0 $$aPolitical science. 001358141 650_0 $$aEconomics. 001358141 650_0 $$aPolitical planning. 001358141 650_0 $$aPublic administration. 001358141 650_0 $$aUrban economics. 001358141 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government. 001358141 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001358141 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aUnger, Abraham.$$tBusiness Improvement Districts in the United States : Private Government and Public Consequences.$$dCham : Springer International Publishing, ©2016$$z9783319322933 001358141 852__ $$bebk 001358141 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-32294-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001358141 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1358141$$pGLOBAL_SET 001358141 980__ $$aBIB 001358141 980__ $$aEBOOK 001358141 982__ $$aEbook 001358141 983__ $$aOnline 001358141 994__ $$a92$$bISE
