"Most experts consider economic development to be the dominant factor influencing
urban politics. They point to the importance of the finance and real estate industries,
the need to improve the tax base, and the push to create jobs. Bruce F. Berg maintains
that there are three forces which are equally important in explaining New York City
politics: economic development; the city's relationships with the state and federal
governments, which influence taxation, revenue and public policy responsibilities;
and New York City's racial and ethnic diversity, resulting in demands for more equitable
representation and greater equity in the delivery of public goods and services. New
York City Politics focuses on the impact of these three forces on the governance of
New York City's political system including the need to promote democratic accountability,
service delivery equity, as well as the maintenance of civil harmony. This second
edition updates the discussion with examples from the Bloomberg and de Blasio administrations
as well as current public policy issues including infrastructure, housing and homelessness,
land use regulations, and education"
