A legendary figure in the realms of public policy and academia,
John Gilderbloom is one of the foremost urban-planning researchers
of our time, producing groundbreaking studies on housing markets,
design, location, regulation, financing, and community building.
Now, in Invisible City, he turns his eye to fundamental questions
regarding housing for the elderly, the disabled, and the poor. Why
is it that some locales can offer affordable, accessible, and
attractive housing, while the large majority of cities fail to do
so? Invisible City calls for a brave new housing paradigm that
makes the needs of marginalized populations visible to policy
makers.
Drawing on fascinating case studies in Houston, Louisville, and
New Orleans, and analyzing census information as well as policy
reports, Gilderbloom offers a comprehensive, engaging, and
optimistic theory of how housing can be remade with a progressive
vision. While many contemporary urban scholars have failed to
capture the dynamics of what is happening in our cities,
Gilderbloom presents a new vision of shelter as a force that shapes
all residents.
