This book identifies a distinctive kind of urban neighborhood that
is on the rise throughout the USA, the dense, walkable, mixed-use
bourgeois-bohemian suburb or the "boburb." It looks at case studies
of areas to live in Louisville, Kentucky. Based on scores of
interviews with college graduates, backed by survey data and Census
figures, it provides a clear, historical account of how these
spaces arose. Chapters depict, analyze, and compare the Highlands
neighborhood with other Louisville boburbs, contrasting them with
the ephemeral bohemian quarters and the many suburban subdivisions.
The Highlands are also compared with five other boburbs around the
USA. Attention is given to the influence of transportation systems
in shaping residential, community, and commercial spaces. Deeper
cultural reasons for choosing the boburbs or the suburbs are also
explored, including the political "big sort" between liberal and
conservative places, and Bourdieu's account of how the distinction
between economic and cultural capital shapes how people choose to
live where they live. This book will appeal to those interested in
the evolution and distinctions among urban neighborhoods. It is
ideal for academics and students within urban geography, urban
gentrification, cities, and population.
