Editorial Reviews

"Gene Bunnell's book is an invaluable and well-written examination of the history of Buffalo's waterfront and of the many ups and downs of its redevelopment in recent decades. As someone deeply interested in the role of local journalism in American democracy, I especially appreciated how he adroitly shows the positive role that The Buffalo News played in persuading-at times pressuring-the state waterfront agency to scrap its original redevelopment plans in favor of ones that ultimately better served the public. His research is meticulous, his writing is accessible, and his message is important." - Margaret Sullivan, former editor of The Buffalo News and columnist for the Guardian (US)

"Buffalo's Waterfront Renaissance is an outstanding piece of scholarship. Reading the manuscript deepened my love for the Queen City. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. In fact, I went through it in two uninterrupted afternoons. That is highly unusual for me. The many examples of how individuals created NGOs hopefully encourages others to follow their lead." - Claude E. Welch, Jr., SUNY Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus, Comparative Politics, Department of Political Science, University of Buffalo, the State University of New York

"Bunnell's interesting and useful case study should appeal to planners, developers, and citizens in equal measure. General readers will especially appreciate his particular focus on citizen participation and intervention in planning processes generally left to politicians and professionals." - Jonathon Welch, owner, Talking Leaves...Books, Buffalo, New York

"Buffalo's Waterfront Renaissance is a unique and insightful study of a waterfront district undergoing de-industrialization and the struggle between citizens and their public organizations with state government and experts, ultimately leading to the area's ecological and cultural renewal. Today, Canalside is a place where all feel welcome and comfortable." - Clinton E. Brown, FAIA, coauthor of Olmsted's Elmwood: The Rise, Decline and Renewal of Buffalo's Parkway Neighborhood
