This book presents outstanding examples of cities, where effective civic action has significantly enchanced the quality of life. It cites a massive building effort involving sports, recreation and health facilities in Indianapolis. St.Louis, which has long been in the "most distressed" lists, is battling back with strong economic and cultural planning for its mid-town area that integrates landscaping, design quality, arts programmining and preservation of historic sites. What these stories and others demonstrate is that a well-conceived and well-executed amenities development program can enhance a city's livability--that a city's quality of life is not simply a product of fate.
