This book provides indepth comparative studies of the two largest cities and metropolitan areas in the United States: New York and Los Angeles. The chapters, written by leading experts and based upon the most current Census information available, discuss and explicitly compare politics, economic prospects and the financial crisis, and a host of social issues including reform movements in education, crime prevention, the development of infrastructure, immigration and immigrant communities, racial and economic segregation, environmental issues, the images of both cities in the movies, and architectural trends.This comparative framework reveals that old paradigms of urban 'decline' or 'resurgence' are inadequate for grasping new challenges and complexities faced by America's two global cities. Each is responding in similar and different ways to the challenges created by the events that defined the last decade including the 9/11 attack and its aftermath, and the continuing effects of the financial crisis. These regions act as harbingers for other U. S. cities, the entire nation, and cities worldwide. New York and Los Angeles offers an essential guide for those interested in understanding the many forces at work in determining the future of our cities.
