Our cities are changing. Global real estate is now a $217 trillion
dollar industry, 36 times the value of all the gold ever mined. It
makes up 60 percent of the world's assets, and the most powerful
person in the world - the president of the United States - made his
name as a landlord and real estate developer. As Samuel Stein makes
clear in this tightly argued book, its through seemingly innocuous
profession of city planners that we can best understand the
transformations underway. Planners provide a window into the
practical dynamics of urban change: the way the state uses and is
used by organized capital, and the power of landlords and
developers at every level of government. But crucially, planners
also possess some of the powers we must leverage if we ever wish to
reclaim our cities from real estate capital.
