The The New Urban Crisis by Richard Florida
In recent years, the young, educated, and affluent have surged back into cities, reversing decades of suburban flight and urban decline. And yet all is not well, Richard Florida argues in The New Urban Crisis. Florida, one of the first scholars to anticipate this back-to-the-city movement in his groundbreaking The Rise of the Creative Class, demonstrates how the same forces that power the growth of the world's superstar cities also generate their vexing challenges: gentrification, unaffordability, segregation, and inequality. Meanwhile, many more cities still stagnate, and middle-class neighborhoods everywhere are disappearing. Our winner-take-all cities are just one manifestation of a profound crisis in today's urbanized knowledge economy.A bracingly original work of research and analysis, The New Urban Crisis offers a compelling diagnosis of our economic ills and a bold prescription for more inclusive cities capable of ensuring growth and prosperity for all.
The Rise of the Creative Class and Who's Your City? are both bestselling books by the author. He has contributed to newspapers such as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and others. Among his many honors and medals is the Breakthrough Idea of the Year award from the Harvard Business Review. He was named one of the Best and Brightest by Esquire magazine in 2005, and one of BusinessWeek's Voices of Innovation in 2006. He currently resides in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
