At the intersection of policy, place, and prosperity lies the urgent discipline of urban economics — and Urban Economics: Processes and Problems by William L. Henderson and Larry C. Ledebur stands as a rigorous and authoritative guide to understanding the economic forces that shape America's cities. Written by two scholars at Denison University in Granville, Ohio, this volume presents a systematic examination of the structural dynamics driving urban growth, decline, and transformation, situating city economies within the broader national framework of income, employment, and public resource allocation. Part of the distinguished Introduction to Economics Series edited by Kenyon A. Knopf, the work argues that urban problems — from fiscal strain to spatial inequality — are not incidental but deeply embedded in the economic logic of metropolitan development. Henderson and Ledebur employ clear, analytical prose that bridges theoretical rigor and real-world application, making complex economic mechanisms accessible without sacrificing intellectual depth. Whether you are a student of economics, a policy professional, or a curious urban observer, this text raises questions about how cities function and who they serve — questions that remain as pressing today as when they were first posed.
