Perry is the author or editor of over a dozen books and over 150 articles, book chapters and reports on urban “anchor” institutions, urban and regional economic development policy, race, politics and urban violence, contested cities, public infrastructure and the production of urban space. Professor Perry's work has also appeared in such non-academic places as The New York Times, The Nation, and Metropolis magazine.
