Zusammenfassung:"A collection of essays...historical and personal...about the present and future of American cities Edited by Keith Gessen and Stephen Squibb, City by City is a collection of essays...historical, personal, and somewhere in between...about the present and future of American cities. It sweeps from Gold Rush, Alaska, to Miami, Florida, encompassing cities large and small, growing and failing. These essays look closely at the forces...gentrification, underemployment, politics, culture, and crime...that shape urban life. They also tell the stories of citizens whose fortunes have risen or fallen with those of the cities they call home. A cross between Hunter S.
