Richard
Florida,
one
of
the
world's
leading
urbanists
and
author
ofThe
Rise
of
the
Creative
Class,
confronts
the
dark
side
of
the
back-to-the-city
movement
In
recent
years,
the
young,
educated,
and
affluent
have
surged
back
into
cities,
reversing
decades
of
suburban
flight
and
urban
decline.
and
yet
all
is
not
well.
InThe
New
Urban
Crisis,
Richard
Florida,
one
of
the
first
scholars
to
anticipate
this
back-to-the-city
movement,
demonstrates
how
the
forces
that
drive
urban
growth
also
generate
cities'
vexing
challenges,
such
as
gentrification,
segregation,
and
inequality.
Meanwhile,
many
more
cities
still
stagnate,
and
middle-class
neighborhoods
everywhere
are
disappearing.
We
must
rebuild
cities
and
suburbs
by
empowering
them
to
address
their
challenges.
The
New
Urban
Crisisis
a
bracingly
original
work
of
research
and
analysis
that
offers
a
compelling
diagnosis
of
our
economic
ills
and
a
bold
prescription
for
more
inclusive
cities
capable
of
ensuring
prosperity
for
all.

Recenzii
"Richard
Florida
offers
a
brilliant
assessment
of
the
varied
and
evolving
challenges
facing
our
cities
today.
At
a
time
when
cities
are
more
important
than
ever
to
our
economic
and
political
future,The
New
Urban
Crisisis
essential
reading
for
urban
leaders
and
all
city-dwellers."—Richard
M.
Daley,
former
mayor
of
Chicago
"The New Urban Crisisbracingly confronts [the] tension between big-city elites and the urban underclass."—Wall Street Journal
"[Richard Florida] vividly expose[s] how gentrification, followed by rising housing costs, concentrated affluence, and glaring inequality has pushed the displaced into deteriorating suburbs far from mass transit, employment, services, and decent schools.... [The New Urban Crisisis] nuanced and proposes solutions."—Washington Post
"Florida draws subtle, thoughtful inferences from his research, and he writes in slick, approachable prose.... Throughout, the author remains an idealistic, perceptive observer of cities' transformations. A sobering account of inequality and spatial conflict rising against a cultural backdrop of urban change."
—Kirkus Reviews
"Urban planners should consider the case being made for the need to address a new urban crisis. A thought-provoking work for those interested in all stages of urban planning and placemaking."
—Library Journal
"The New Urban Crisisdeserves to stand alongside Thomas Piketty'sCapital in the Twenty-First Centuryas an essential diagnosis of our contemporary ills, and a clear-eyed prescription of how to cure them."—Steven Johnson
"Richard Florida demonstrates again that he is one of the most discerning (and provocative) observers of the great metropolitan migrations of the past 60 years."
—Governor John Hickenlooper, Colorado
"Cites are engines for prosperity and progress, but it's essential that the benefits extend far and wide. Florida proposes promising ideas for building stronger cities that offer greater opportunities for all."—Mayor Michael Bloomberg, New York City
"Richard Florida is the great pioneer thinker who first explained how the influx of creative people was reviving cities. Now he takes the next step: looking for ways to make this urbanism more inclusive."—Walter Isaacson
"This is the book we have been waiting for. Richard Florida is the greatest American urbanist of our time....This is an indispensable read for policy makers, students, educators, and all urban dwellers alike."
—Mayor Eric Garcetti, Los Angeles
"A sweeping narrative of the most significant human movement of our times: global urbanization. Richard Florida lays out with unassailable facts and clear vision the convergence of an urgent human development--the drive for more livable cities and the quest for a more sustainable planet. Clear, compelling, and full of vision."
—Governor Martin O'Malley, Maryland
"Like the superstar cities it describes, this book is dense, complex and stimulating. Florida's well-researched and fluent exposé of inequality is a wake-up call to all the major actors engaged in planning, designing and managing cities in the 21st century."
—Ricky Burdett, Professor of Urban Studies, London School of Economics
"The New Urban Crisisis well worth reading for the original research, clear-headed critique, and the skilled analysis of solid data."—New York Journal of Books
"The New Urban Crisisis underpinned by reams of data breezily and readably presented."—Miami Herald
