More Description
Although relatively new, the importance of business improvement districts (BIDs) in urban and metropolitan areas in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada has dramatically increased in recent years. Business Improvement Districts: Research, Theories, and Controversies presents the first scholarly work on the subject, bringing together the highest-quality theoretical, legal, and empirical studies in one comprehensive volume. This groundbreaking reference addresses such fundamental issues and controversies as problem solving and efficiency in service and delivery, criticism of BIDs for ignoring the needs of residential property owners, equal representation of citizens, and lack of accountability to elected governments or people.
