City by Douglas W Rae
A new understanding of the modern city, its challenges, and why old ideas about urban renewal won't work
“A terrific read, moving seductively from the minutiae of neighborhood history to grand global forces”—Robert Putnam, author of Bowling Alone
“An extraordinarily detailed study of New Haven, tracing the city’s rise in the early part of the 20th century and its fall in the second half—an almost archetypal tale of the American city.”—Edward Rothstein, New York Times
“For anyone with the slightest interest in cities, this book is that rare combination: a must-read volume that you can’t put down.”—Planning Magazine
