The origins of gentrification date back to World War I - only it was sometimes known as “remodeling” then. Dennis Gale’s insightful book The Misunderstood History of Gentrification provides a recontextualization of American gentrification, planning, and policymaking. He argues that gentrification must be understood as an urban phenomenon with historical roots in the very early 20th century.

The world gasped in April 2015 as Baltimore erupted and Black Lives Matter activists, incensed by Freddie Gray's brutal death in police custody, shut down highways and marched on city streets. In The Black Butterfly - a reference to the fact that Baltimore's majority-Black population spreads out on both sides of the coveted strip of real estate running down the center of the city like a butterfly's wings - Lawrence T. Brown reveals that ongoing historical trauma caused by a combination of policies, practices, systems, and budgets is at the root of uprisings.

The Great Migration and the Democratic Party frames the Great Migration as an important economic and social event that also had serious political consequences. Keneshia Grant created one of the first listings of Black elected officials that classifies them based on their status as participants in the Great Migration. She also describes some of the policy/political concerns of the migrants. The Great Migration and the Democratic Party lays the groundwork for ways of thinking about the contemporary impact of Black migration on American politics.

Paved a Way tells the stories of five neighborhoods in Dallas and how they were shaped by racism and economic oppression. The communities of North Dallas, Deep Ellum, Little Mexico, Tenth Street, and Fair Park look nothing like what they did during their prime, and author Collin Yarbrough argues that their respective declines were intentional - that their foundations were chipped away over time.

Die Texte Ernst Engelbrechts lassen tief in eine noch vom Kolonialgeist geprägte europäische Epoche blicken. Seine Umgangssprache pendelt zwischen Höflichkeit und herablassendem Leutnantsjargon und macht ihn zu einem der erfolgreichsten Autoren der Weimarer Republik. In Engelbrechts Worten zeigt sich das Sittenbild einer Gesellschaft, die sich nach dem verlorenen Krieg in einem neuen demokratischen System einzufinden versucht. Das ist interessant, erhellend, amüsant und manchmal auch erschreckend.

In Nest City, Beth Sanders argues that our linear ways of thinking about, organizing, and planning our cities do not meet the true nature of cities as complex and messy systems. At a time when understanding the relationship between our physical, economic, and social habitats is essential, Sanders sets forth an approach to work with the disruptions of our times. Our work is what regenerates our cities. The city habitats we make for ourselves are as good as we choose to make them. If they’re not good enough, it’s up to us to improve them.

Hurricane Katrina made landfall in New Orleans on August 29, 2005, but the decisions that caused the disaster extend across the 20th century. After the city weathered a major hurricane in 1915, its Sewerage and Water Board believed that developers could safely build housing away from the high ground near the Mississippi. And so New Orleans grew in lowlands that relied on significant government subsidies to stay dry.

Michael Bloomberg became mayor of New York just four months after the 9/11 terrorist destruction of the World Trade Center, and he led the rebuilding of a physically and emotionally devastated city so well that within two years, the city had budget surpluses. Weikart reveals how state and federal governments constrained Bloomberg's efforts to set municipal policy and implement his strategic goals in the areas of homelessness, low-income housing, poverty, education, and crime.

La relación entre la comida y las ciudades es fundamental para nuestra vida cotidiana. La comida da forma a las ciudades y, a través de ellas, nos moldea, junto con el campo, que nos alimenta. Podría decirse que alimentar ciudades tiene un mayor impacto social y físico sobre nosotros y nuestro planeta que cualquier otra cosa que hagamos. Pero pocos de nosotros en Occidente somos conscientes del proceso. La comida aparece como por arte de magia y rara vez nos detenemos a preguntarnos cómo podría haber llegado allí.

"Ihr seid jung, euch gehört die Welt" - ein Satz, den die 24-jährige Ronja Ebeling schon oft gehört hat. Der Traumjob in den Zwanzigern, Eigenheim und Familie mit dreißig, dazwischen jede Menge Strandurlaube und Chancen zur persönlichen Entfaltung, und dann, im Alter, irgendwo im Grünen entspannt den Lebensabend verbringen. Doch die Realität? Die sieht leider anders aus. Anstatt sich auf unbefristeten Jobverträgen auszuruhen, pendelt die junge Generation von Praktikum zu Praktikum, statt Urlaub gibt es Burn-out, statt einer satten Rente den Ausblick auf Altersarmut. Und Kinder? Die kann sich heute doch eh keiner mehr leisten!

How do we draw the lines between "good" and "bad" neighborhoods? How do we know “ghettos”? This book questions the widely held assumption that divisions between urban areas are reflections of varying amounts of crime, deprivation, and other social, cultural, and economic problems. Using Ogden, Utah, as a case study, Pepper Glass argues that urban reputations are “moral frontiers” that uphold and create divides between who is a good and respectable - or a bad and vilified - member of a community.

A welfare capitalist, Henry Ford was a leader on many fronts - he raised wages, increased leisure time, and transformed workers into consumers, and he was the most effective at making suburbs an intrinsic part of American life. The decade was dominated by this new political economy - also known as "Fordism" - linking mass production and consumption. The rise of Dearborn demonstrated that Fordism was connected to mass suburbanization as well. Ultimately, Dearborn proved to be a model that was repeated throughout the nation.
