- Summary
- This study examined the process of implementation and the impacts of an experimental program of administrative decentralization and coordination of city services at the district level in New York City. The programs were run by the Office of Neighborhood Government in New York City, and the study was conducted by Allen Barton, et al., under NSF and HUD grants in January 1972. There were five components to the study: 1) Administrative Analysis describes the development of the district manager's role, strategies in dealing with community, and response of various city departments; 2) Service Delivery and Cost Analysis analyzed 65 projects started by local Offices of Neighborhood Government and assessed the impact on allocation of resources among districts of the city; 3) Community Leadership conducted surveys of community leaders' responses to the experiment and their attitudes toward community control over city services, and collected case-studies of community projects; 4) Public Survey conducted a before-and-after survey of 1680 households in four experimental and three control districts, concerning people's problems, their rating of city services, their contacts with governments, and their attitudes toward city government, decentralization, and community control; and 5) Washinton Heights Community Study examined interinstitutional relationships in one community and carried out a survey of five blocks with concentrated ethhic groups.
