** Product Overview **

“An exacting look at gentrification” (New York Times Book Review)—and the lives devastated in the process

The term
gentrification has become a buzzword to describe the changes in urban neighborhoods across the country, but we don‚Äôt realize just how threatening it is. It means more than the arrival of trendy shops, much-maligned hipsters, and expensive lattes. The very future of American cities as vibrant, equitable spaces hangs in the balance. 

A vigorous exposé revealing who holds power in our cities,
How to Kill a City uncovers the massive systemic forces behind gentrification in New Orleans, Detroit, San Francisco, and New York. Now with a new preface reflecting on the present-day political landscape surrounding the housing crisis, How to Kill a City is essential reading for anyone who cares about the fate of our cities and our nation.
