The U.S. city is undergoing constant change. In the East and
Midwest, most cities were founded as trading posts on waterways.
They boomed during the industrial era and reached their population
peak in the mid-20th century, before suburbanization and
deindustrialization caused them to decline in importance. Traces of
decay were everywhere, and the prognosis for the future was
conceivably poor. As Barbara Hahn shows in her book, this
trend now seems to have been broken: Things are looking up again
for the US city. Some of the former industrial cities have
succeeded in structural change. In the south and west of the
country, cities have developed into new growth centers. However,
not all cities are benefiting from this positive development, and
many continue to shrink at an alarming rate. As the author points
out, similar processes such as neoliberalisation, deregulation,
privatisation and gentrification can be observed in all cities,
regardless of their location and level of development. Due to the
large number of didactically prepared graphics, the book is
suitable as a study read for students and scholars. The
characteristics of the U.S. city, which are elaborated on the basis
of current examples, as well as the illustrative photos also
illustrate the change of the U.S. city to the interested reader.
