As cities move between centralized anddecentralized governance and conservative and progressive leadership,what brings out the best and the worst in civic engagement?In this thought-provoking book, Sylvia Bashevkin examines theconsequences of divergent restructuring experiences in London andToronto.

By focusing on the forced amalgamation of local boroughs inToronto and the creation of a new metropolitan authority in London,Tales of Two Cities explores the fallout for women as urbancitizens.
