Abstract:
Publications and miscellaneous records of the Urban Research Center (URC) from 1973 to 1997. The research publications document health, economy, violence, ecology, development, and other urban issues most often using Milwaukee as the area of study. The collection also contains papers delivered at URC-sponsored conferences, including The Crisis of Authority: Citizen Boards and the Governance of Public and Private Agencies (1980), Lethal Aspects of Urban Violence (1977), Milwaukee's Economy: Federal Programs, Local Resources and Community Action (1977), and Public Agency Accountability in an Urban Society (1977). The collection also contains quarterly reports from the study Building Capacity in Milwaukee's Inner City (1994-1997). There is some correspondence dealing with the events leading up to the center's formation and organization, and progress reports and newsletter publications which further document the center's development.
