Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A journey to the front lines of the battle for the future of American cities, uncovering the massive, systemic forces behind gentrification and the lives that are altered in the process.The term gentrification has become a buzzword to describe the changes in urban neighborhoods across the country, but we don't realize just how threatening it is. It means more than the arrival of trendy shops, muchmaligned hipsters, and expensive lattes. The very future of American cities as vibrant, equitable spaces hangs in the balance.P. E. Moskowitz's How to Kill a City takes readers from the kitchen tables of hurting families who can no longer afford their homes to the corporate boardrooms and political backrooms where destructive housing policies are devised. Along the way, Moskowitz uncovers the massive, systemic forces behind gentrification in New Orleans, Detroit, San Francisco, and New York. The deceptively simple question of who can and cannot afford to pay the rent goes to the heart of America's crises of race and inequality. In the fight for economic opportunity and racial justice, nothing could be more important than housing.A vigorous, hardhitting expose, How to Kill a City reveals who holds power in our citiesand how we can get it back.
