Summary:
In recent years, the young, educated, and affluent have surged back into
cities
, reversing decades of suburban flight and
urban
decline. And yet all is not well, Richard Florida argues in The
New
Urban
Crisis
. Florida, one of the first scholars to anticipate this back-to-the-city movement in his groundbreaking The Rise of the Creative Class, demonstrates
how
the same forces that power the growth of the world's superstar
cities
also generate their vexing challenges: gentrification, unaffordability,
segregation
, and
inequality
. Meanwhile, many more
cities
still stagnate, and middle-class neighborhoods everywhere are disappearing.
Our
winner-take-all
cities
are just one manifestation of a profound
crisis
in today's urbanized knowledge economy. An original work of research and analysis, The
New
Urban
Crisis
offers a compelling diagnosis of
our
economic ills and a bold prescription for more inclusive
cities
capable of ensuring growth and prosperity for all.
