Sobre IBD

While it seems that culture ’matters’ in local policy making, how to measure culture in a valid and replicable fashion presents a significant challenge. The authors of this book address this challenge, presenting their findings of a large multi-city research project to explore the nature of civic culture in cities in the US and Canada.
