“It’s the year of the cities. Developers, politi­cal leaders and trade organizations are all calling for the revitalization of the nation’s urban cores,” The National Real Estate Investor stated in July 1978.

Should they be revitalized? Are New Jersey cities capable of revitalization? If so, how?

This project aimed at answering those ques­tions. It began with the recognition of continuing statistical declines in the State’s major cities, re­ported in June 1977 as the first phase of this study (“Statistical Trends in the Six Largest and Eight Smaller Cities of New Jersey”). This second phase is, frankly, a subjective view based on wide inter­viewing and observation.
