I arrived in Washington just as the financial crisis hit. A few months later, the director of Cities Alliance and his counterpart at the World Bank asked me to write a paper on the financial consequences of the crisis for local authorities, which was a subject no one had ever addressed at that time.
This book, co-written with my socio-economist colleague Laurence Wilheim, seemed fairly remarkable at the time it came out. It combined an economic, sociological, urban planning and management approach on a subject that had never been dealt with until then.
This booklet co-written with my colleague Martha Stein-Sochas, summarized a series of working groups that I organized with various partners and funding professionals.
This work, co-written with my colleague Claude Géhin, is devoted to a review that had never been carried out before concerning policy for the resorption of unsanitary housing (RHI) conducted by the French government overseas.
This work is mentioned as a matter of form since it figures in my earlier bibliographies. It is available on request for researchers or students interested in its historical value.
