Opinions and contributions are drawn from economics, sociology, political science and health care planning. `Any college library that supports programs in economics, health administration, or urban affairs should have this most recent volume of "SAGE's Urban Affairs Annual Reviews".' -- Choice, July/August 1984 `...of interest to all who want to explore new lines of thought about health and cities...It has lessons for all, especially if the reader makes the effort to translate events, attitudes and service provision into more familiar settings.' --
