Title
Bloomberg'S New York: Class And Governance In The Luxury City (Geographies Of Justice And Social Transformation Ser.),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
New York mayor Michael Bloomberg claims to run the city like a business. In Bloombergs New York, Julian Brash applies methods from anthropology, geography, and other social science disciplines to examine what that means. He describes the mayors attitude toward governance as the Bloomberg Waya philosophy that holds up the mayor as CEO, government as a private corporation, desirable residents and businesses as customers and clients, and the city itself as a product to be branded and marketed as a luxury good.Commonly represented as pragmatic and nonideological, the Bloomberg Way, Brash argues, is in fact an ambitious reformulation of neoliberal governance that advances specific class interests. He considers the implications of this in a blowbyblow account of the debate over the Hudson Yards plan, which aimed to transform Manhattans far west side into the citys next great highend district. Bringing this plan to fruition proved surprisingly difficult as activists and entrenched interests pushed back against the Bloomberg administration, suggesting that despite Bloombergs success in redrawing the rules of urban governance, older political arrangementsand opportunities for social justiceremain.
