Each of Siegel's three urban portraits--New York, Washington, D.C.,
and Los Angeles, -- shows the desperate remedies undertaken by
cities searching for a lifeline back to the future whose promise
they once seemed to embody. In a narrative that acknowledges the
large historical forces that have remade the face of America over
the last three decades, but insists that social policies are not
merely foregone conclusions waiting to happen, Siegel holds up a
mirror to our urban naure and tells us much about the way we live
now.
