And while New Yorkers are renowned for theirtrendsetting, this thought-provoking book argues that New York City itself has become a follower rather than a leader. Once-distinctive streets and neighborhoods have become awash in generic stores, apartment boxes, and garish signs and billboards. Legendary neighborhoods (Little Italy, Hell's Kitchen, Harlem, the Lower East Side) have been smoothed over with cute monikers, remade for real-estate investment and for sale to the highest bidder. \u003cp\u003eWhat does the future hold for the legendary metropolis, gateway to immigrants and strivers, magnet for builders and dealers, muse for artists and dreamers? Will the current political, economic, and social influences dull its once-famous creative edge and culture of opposition? What will become of the special allure of New York? \u003ci\u003eThe Suburbanization of New York\u003c\/i\u003e presents fourteen timely, provocative articles that explore the radical transformation unfolding in New York City and raise serious questions about the future of any metropolis struggling to maintain its unique identity. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the field of urban studies or the forces shaping our cities today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Princeton Architectural Press","offers":[{"title":"Suburbanization of New York: Is the World's Greatest City Becoming Just Another Town? | Jerilou Hammett | Paperback | 9781568986784 | Used: Like New | Sociology 1535946","offer_id":50585853231362,"sku":"1535946","price":25.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/413y_10qQyL.jpg?v=1791076024","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/suburbanization-of-new-york-is-the-worlds-greatest-city-becoming-just-another-town","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
