"[T]his book will be a useful addition to the shelf of any scholars interested in the changing socio-economic and cultural patterns of US suburbia. Many of the individual chapters could find their way into the reading packs for US urban studies courses.

The voices assembled in this important empirically rich volume are part of a more profound shift in Urban Studies: to rethink our metropolitan regions from the outside in.’ Roger Keil, York University, Canada ’Once depicted as a refuge for the white middle class, American suburbs now display a puzzling mosaic of income and demographic diversity. The New American Suburb presents a broad and insightful portrait of this new social and economic geography. Addressing topics that range from th
