Winner of the Gold Award in the Tenth Annual Robert Bruss Real
Estate Book Competition 24 Hour Cities is the very first full
length book about America's cities that never sleep. Over the last
fifty years, the nation's top live-work-play cities have proven
themselves more than just vibrant urban environments for the elite.
They are attracting a cross-section of the population from across
the U.S. and are preferred destinations for immigrants of all
income strata. This is creating a virtuous circle wherein economic
growth enhances property values, stronger real estate markets
sustain more reliable tax bases, and solid municipal revenues pay
for better services that further attract businesses and talented
individuals. Yet, just a generation ago, cities like New York,
Boston, Washington, San Francisco, and Miami were broke
(financially and physically), scarred by violence, and prime
examples of urban dysfunction. How did the turnaround happen? And
why are other cities still stuck with the hollow downtowns and
sprawling suburbs that make for a 9-to-5 urban configuration? Hugh
Kelly's cross-disciplinary research identifies the ingredients of
success, and the recipe that puts them together.
