"When David Rusk speaks, people listen. He is the hottest urban expert in the nation today." -- Theo Lippman, Jr., Baltimore Sun

In his highly acclaimed book, Cities without Suburbs, former Albuquerque mayor David Rusk explained why regions with wealthy suburbs surrounding a poor central city face continuing economic hardship. Now, in Baltimore Unbound, he applies his ideas in an illuminating study of Baltimore's continuing economic stagnation, offering a frank assessment of its causes and possible solutions. Placing the study in the context of national urban issues, Rusk reviews similar problems and remedial efforts in other cities. Published by the Abell Foundation.
