CQ Researcher


What can be done to alleviate domestic poverty?  How is rapid urbanization impacting cities around the world?

These are just two of the provocative questions your students will find in the new edition of Urban Issues. For current coverage of urban politics, your students deserve the balanced reporting of CQ Researcher. Urban Issues gives them a window into how policy is made and implemented and is sure to spark classroom debate. Advancing critical thinking, each report includes the following useful features:

• pro/con box that examines two competing sides of a single question;
• detailed chronology;
• annotated bibliography and web resources; and
• photos, charts, graphs, and maps.
