As suburban expansion declines, cities have become essential
economic, cultural and social hubs of global connectivity. This
book is about urban revitalization across North America, in cities
including San Francisco, Toronto, Boston, Vancouver, New York and
Seattle. Infrastructure projects including the High Line and Big
Dig are explored alongside urban neighborhood creation and
regeneration projects such as Hunters Point in San Francisco and
Regent Park in Toronto. Today, these urban regeneration projects
have evolved in the context of unprecedented neoliberal public
policy and soaring real estate prices. Consequently, they make a
complex contribution to urban inequality and poverty trends in many
of these cities, including the suburbanization of immigrant
settlement and rising inequality. (Re)Generating Inclusive Cities
wrestles with challenging but important questions of urban
planning, including who benefits and who loses with these urban
regeneration schemes, and what policy tools can be used to mitigate
harm? We propose a new way forward for understanding and promoting
better urban design practices in order to build more socially just
and inclusive cities and to ultimately improve the quality of urban
life for all.
