New York & Los Angeles

In the late 1990s, gentrification led to more and more sections of major US cities being occupied by the wealthy, and after the 2007 financial and economic crisis, the momentum for gentrification has slowed. Today, the direction of New York and Los Angeles is highly uncertain, as uncertain as it has been for many decades. Drawing on a variety of perspectives - politics, culture, economics, and demography - this book provides new thinking and interpretations about the future of these cities.
