Kurzbeschreibung
The city that never sleeps also never stops changing. And while New Yorkers are renowned for their trendsetting, this thought-provoking book argues that New York City itself has become a follower rather than a leader. Once-distinctive streets and neighborhoods have become awash in generic stores, apartment boxes, and garish signs and billboards. Legendary neighborhoods (Little Italy, Hell's Kitchen, Harlem, the Lower East Side) have been smoothed over with cute monikers, remade for real-estate investment and for sale to the highest bidder.
What does the future hold for the legendary metropolis, gateway to immigrants and strivers, magnet for builders and dealers, muse for artists and dreamers? Will the current political, economic, and social influences dull its once-famous creative edge and culture of opposition? What will become of the special allure of New York? The Suburbanization of New York presents fourteen timely, provocative articles that explore the radical transformation unfolding in New York City and raise serious questions about the future of any metropolis struggling to maintain its unique identity. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the field of urban studies or the forces shaping our cities today.

hard to measure trends
8. Februar 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
The question asked by the book is whether New York can maintain a culturally unique and compelling identity. Or perhaps it will just become like Anyplace USA? Here, suburbanisation is not taken as a compliment. The text suggests that homogenisation is a real peril. But that New York will still, somehow, retain enough of a global cachet to remain on the cutting edge of cultural and fashion trends. The arguments pro and con are not conclusive. Somewhat vague to measure, on either side. Readers from more quantitative fields may wince at the sheer qualitativeness and ephermeral nature of much of the arguments or trends.
Still, at least the discussion is interesting. Lets you step back for a while from current events and try to discern broader long term patterns.

timely book
6. März 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
this book is not only timely, but thoughtfully done -- a wide variety of essays, questions, thoughts. Accessible to non-academics, and not pedantic at all.
