"[Camden is] a troubled city seeking to shatter its bonds of poverty and neglect...We’ll show you how today’s visions, fueled by a $175 million recovery effort, could become reality. We’ll describe a city reborn, with new homes, new schools, new neighborhoods...You’ll hear from officials behind the changes and from people — in the city and its suburbs — wondering what this all means.And you’ll see problems that still must be solved — like struggling schools, crime-ridden streets and chronic joblessness."
