This national best-seller chronicles the true story of two brothers coming of age in the Henry Horner public housing complex in Chicago. Lafeyette and Pharoah Rivers are 11 and nine years old when the story begins in the summer of 1987. Living with their mother and six siblings, they struggle against grinding poverty, gun violence, gang influences, overzealous police officers, and overburdened and neglectful bureaucracies. Immersed in their lives for two years, Kotlowitz brings us this classic rendering of growing up poor in America’s cities.

Since 2010, Toronto's headlines have been consumed by the outrageous personal foibles and government-slashing, anti-urbanist policies of Mayor Rob Ford. But the heated debate at City Hall has obscured a bigger, decade-long narrative of Toronto's ascendance as a mature global city. Some Great Idea traces how post-amalgamation, and under three very different mayors, Toronto managed to so quickly oscillate from one extreme to another, and how the city might proceed from here.

Thousands of people live in the subway, railroad, and sewage tunnels that form the bowels of New York City. This audiobook is about them, the so-called mole people, living alone and in communities, in subway tunnels, and below subway platforms. It is about how and why people move underground, who they are, and what they have to say about their lives and the "topside" world they've left behind.

From the sprawling barricadas of Lima to the garbage hills of Manila, urbanization has been disconnected from industrialization, even economic growth. Davis portrays a vast humanity warehoused in shantytowns and exiled from the formal world economy. He argues that the rise of this informal urban proletariat is a wholly original development unforeseen by either classical Marxism or neoliberal theory. Are the great slums, as a terrified Victorian middle class once imagined, volcanoes waiting to erupt?

Opening in the 1640s, as the city was gripped in tumult leading up to the English Civil War, The Phoenix charts the lives and works of five extraordinary men who would grow up in the chaos of a world turned upside down: the architect, Sir Christopher Wren; gardener and virtuosi, John Evelyn; the scientist, Robert Hooke; the radical philosopher, John Locke; and the builder, Nicholas Barbon.

At the end of the 1976 football season, more than forty Harvard athletes went to Boston's Combat Zone to celebrate. In the city's adult entertainment district, drugs and prostitution ran rampant, violent crime was commonplace, and corrupt police turned the other way. At the end of the night, Italian American star athlete Andy Puopolo, raised in the city's North End, was murdered in a stabbing. Three African American men were accused of the crime. His murder made national news and led to the eventual demise of the city's red-light district.

Race for Profit uncovers how exploitative real estate practices continued well after housing discrimination was banned. The same racist structures and individuals remained intact after redlining's end, and close relationships between regulators and the industry created incentives to ignore improprieties. Meanwhile, new policies meant to encourage low-income homeownership created new methods to exploit Black homeowners.

Die Wohnungsfrage ist die soziale Frage unserer Zeit. Wohnungen sind zu reinen Spekulationsobjekten verkommen. Hohe Nachfrage und sogenannte Zwangssanierungen lassen die Mieten explodieren und zwar nicht nur in den Großstädten, sondern auch im Umland. Caren Lay nimmt die deutsche Wohnungspolitik der letzten 20 Jahre schonungslos unter die Lupe. Sie zeigt, wie und warum Deutschland zum Eldorado für Wohnungsspekulanten werde konnte, und liefert provokante Ideen für eine soziale Wohnungspolitik, die wir so dringend brauchen.

La estructura de este libro es un zapping de la memoria y la observación. Las secciones que dan orden a los fragmentos aluden a una manera de habitar la Ciudad de México, todas ejercidas por el autor, quien sobrevivió para contarla. Así, 'Vivir en la ciudad' describe escenas de la vida diaria, pasajes de la infancia del autor en una ciudad de la que no queda más que la memoria personal y el cuento que con ésta se forja. 'Personajes en la ciudad' retrata de cuerpo entero al Chilango, pero también a otros habitantes del ex DF.
