Abstract Philanthropic foundations have become increasingly important actors in the governance of cities in decline in the United States. The relationships between foundation and other actors within city governance are illuminated via contrasting interpretations of state-society power relationships which highlight the mutability of ‘civil society’ as an oppositional or integrated part of the state. After detailing a typology of philanthropy of place, the twofold role played by foundations in the governance of neighbourhood revitalization in the cities in which they are embedded is explored: not only as an important source of funding and support for neighbourhood-based organizations, but as contributors to the creation of neighbourhood revitalization policy agendas. Considering the cities of Baltimore and Cleveland reveals that the policy approaches adopted have tended to align with the predominant neoliberal policy agenda rather than revealing foundation actors as activists who assist the organizations they support in exerting agency to contest or seek to transform the prevailing hegemony. This makes clear the need for rigour in defining what constitutes civil society, and points to the importance of embedded philanthropic practices in enabling civil society agency.

Visitors to the United States Library of Congress will find it in the midst of major expansions of three kinds – expansions to preserve what otherwise might be lost, to protect what it already has, and to make what it has more readily and widely accessible. One current kind of expansion takes the form of constructing a new complex of four buildings in the side of a mountain near the city of Culpeper in the state of Virginia, about an hour's drive from the library's main facilities in Washington, DC. This complex, named the Library of Congress Packard Center for Audio-Visual Conservation, will provide safe storage and new preservation and access systems for the film, video, and sound collections – 5.7 million items – administered by the library's Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Division. The library's second major current expansion consists of constructing off-site storage modules for other collections on the site of Fort Meade, a US Army installation in the state of Maryland, less than an hour's drive from Washington, DC. On this site, the library and its partners are finishing the third and fourth of a projected 13, high-density storage modules, designed to extend the life of parts of the library's holdings by a factor of six. The third major current expansion of the Library of Congress is on the Internet, where the library's website now offers some 10 million digitized items. Through financial and other partnerships, the library will continue to add to its online resources, and is working with UNESCO on a project to create a World Digital Library. This will be a collaborative virtual repository through which libraries worldwide provide access to rare, primary source materials, illustrating cultures in all parts of the globe, for the potential benefit of people everywhere.

Further Development

The article deals with the distribution of criminal offenses in the territory of Kyiv city in 2015-2018. The purpose of the article is to reveal the topic of crime in the city of Kyiv, as one of the most important problems of its further development as a European capital. The author focuses on the place of Kyiv in various international rankings, such as the rating of the international consulting company Mercer, the rating of the world’s largest database of cities and countries of the world, Numbeo et al. Using statistics from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the author compiled several tables: “The number of criminal offenses reported in the districts of the city of Kyiv in 2015-2018”, “Number of criminal offenses reported by the city of Kyiv by individual types in 2015-2018”, “Crime peculiarities of the city of Kyiv by regions in 2015-2018”, “Criminality of Kyiv City in different areas by regions in 2015-2018”, “Number of detected persons who committed criminal offenses in the city of Kyiv by districts in 2015-2018”. Based on the analysis of these tables, the rating of districts of the city of Kyiv for each of the studied years was drawn up, as well as the rating for four years together, the types of criminal offenses the number of which is the largest and the smallest in the city was selected. The author presents the probable reasons that lead to the predominance of theft, as well as grave and especially grave crimes, fraud and robbery over other types of crimes in the city. Using the rank method, the author identified the largest and least criminal districts of the city of Kyiv for each of the studied years. The article provides statistics on murders in capitals of different countries, including Kyiv, for 2012. The author emphasizes that educated people leave the country for Europe, Canada, the United States, China and other countries, reducing the number of intellectuals, who are less prone to commit crimes, and also offers measures to prevent the increase in the number of criminal offenses in the districts of Kyiv.
