" Some of today's best urban leaders don't work for the governmentthey can be found in nonprofit organizations that serve the working class and poor populations. Based on interviews conducted in major cities including Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, Washington D.C., and New York, this study focuses on exceptional leaders who have developed effective solutions to the complex problems of our inner cities, including education, economic development, and community safety. The book includes profiles of innovators such as Robert Woodson, founder of the Washington, D.C. based National Center for Neighborhood Enterprise, whose work on affordable housing, gang violence, and black entrepreneurship earned a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship (the ""genius"" award); MacArthur Fellowship and Heinz Prize winner Bob Moses, founder of the Algebra Project that prepares low-income students for joining today's technology-dominated workforce; Rheedlen Center head Geoff Canada, who received the Heinz Prize for his ""anti-violence among youth"" work; and Reverend Eugene Rivers, one of the founders of the Ten-Point Coalition that helped to reduce gang violence in Boston. The New Urban Leadership investigates how and why expert problem solvers chose their career paths, what qualities make them especially successful in their work, and the methods they use to train the next generation of urban leaders.

"In The New Urban Leaders, long-time civil rights activist Joyce Ladner profiles an innovative group of urban community development specialists who are bringing change, hope, and the opportunity to succeed to the urban poor. Living and working in some of the country's toughest neighborhoods, these unsung heroes are putting their ideas into action and redefining the civil rights agenda in an era of diminished government support.".
"These exceptional individuals approach entrenched poverty with a vision for change and the technical expertise to make it happen. They inspire and motivate others to become involved, and they articulate the issues in a way that resonates with their followers.".
"This book allows these leaders to speak in their own voices about problems they deal with daily. They talk about their own backgrounds, what attracted them to their work, the roles they and their organizations play in shaping solutions to critical problems, and their assessments of the major pitfalls and limitations they face.".
"Ladner presents the experiences of these leaders to support a powerful call for longterm reinvestment strategies, urging cities to forge partnerships in which government, private nonprofit organizations, and communities join forces to improve opportunities in the inner city. Compelling in its message and scope, The New Urban Leaders illustrates that change is possible even in the most daunting conditions."--BOOK JACKET.
