Columbus, Ohio, and its ample cloud cover may be on the eastern edge of the Midwest, but the citys unfettered suburbanization and rapid postwar expansion recall its Sunbelt peers. To understand whyand the social and economic stakes of this alltoocommon model of urban growthpioneering geographer Kevin R. Cox takes us through the postwar history of development in Columbus, a city that has often welcomed corporate influence at the expense of livability and equal opportunity for its residents.How have development interests become entwined with government? How has a policy of annexation reformed the citys map? Why have airline service and major league prestige lagged behind its status as a regional center? And what, if anything, makes this city with a reputation for being average stand apart? In Boomtown Columbus, Cox applies both scholarly expertise and his personal experience as a longtime resident of the city to look at the reallife costs of policy. The resulting narrative will fascinate not only locals but anyone with a stake in understanding American cities and a path toward urban livability for all.
