Roberta Brandes Gratz is an urban critic, award-winning journalist and consultant based out of New York City. Her concept of “urban husbandry” is a flexible and effective approach to urban rejuvenation - one more about incrementally creating unique places and less about replacing large areas of downtown with expensive blockbuster projects. She illustrates how this organic, sustainable process promotes low-cost, community-based initiatives that capitalize on the inherent value in the existing built environment while promoting the care, management and preservation of urban neighborhoods. Gratz writes for The New York Post and lectures internationally on the topic of urban development. She is the author of The Living City: Thinking Small in a Big Way and Cities Back from the Edge: New Life for Downtown.
“A love song for the city... [Cities Back from the Edge], attractively packaged and richly illustrated, is really a cookbook for downtown revitalization.” -- The Wall Street Journal
