During more than forty years of innovation in cities, he has learned that changes do not need to be large-scale and expensive to transform -- one block, park, or person can have an outsized effect on life in the surrounding city.'--Provided by publisher UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1503/2014944763-b.html.
