Product Information

America's cities are being rapidly transformed by a sinister and homogenous design. A new Kind of urbanism--manipulative, dispersed, and hostile to traditional public space--is emerging both at the heart and at the edge of town in megamalls, corporate enclaves, gentrified zones, and psuedo-historic marketplaces. If anything can be described as a paradigm for these places, it's the theme park, an apparently benign environment in which all is structured to achieve maximum control and in which the idea of authentic interaction among citizens has been thoroughly purged. In this bold collection, eight of our leading urbanists and architectural critics explore the emblematic sites of this new cityscape--from Silicon Valley to Epcot Center, South Street Seaport to downtown Los Angeles--and reveal their disturbing implications for American public life.

Reviews
These witty and properly outraged essays are the best introduction I know to worsening urban scene from sea to poisoned sea. Clarifying and terrifying by turns, they don't let you off with any happy ending. This is the Blade Runner of urban analysis, the rapier at the end of the window, the autopsy of a future already over--unless, perhaps, everyone who loves cities reads this book., "A fascinating account of the various kinds of manipulated but very real places in America today, this book is a model of cultural richness, strong critique, and vibrant history." -- Gwendolyn Wright, author of Building the Dream: A Social History of Housing in America "These witty and properly outraged essays are the best introduction I know to worsening urban scene from sea to poisoned sea.

Unfortunately, the book did not arrive as initially stated. The book never showed that it shipped so I contacted the seller and they issued a refund. They were very easy to work with and very pleasant. A week or so later the book arrived so I contacted the seller to let them know. They told me to just keep the book. The book was in great condition. I will definitely order from them again.
