Abstract
Central cities have experienced uneven development, with great attention paid to their downtowns and allocation of resources made accordingly in attempts to revitalize central business districts. Downtown plans have paid too little attention to citywide social problems and the role of the CBD in their amelioration. Social equity concerns should be seriously addressed in downtown plans. In this article 1980s plans are reviewed for six cities: Cleveland, Denver, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco, and Seattle. The analysis concludes with the suggestion that Toronto's 1991 plan is a model for the future.Keywords
