Story0
Growing up in the shadow of Hollywood, the gay sons of immigrants featured in Brown and Gay in LA could not have felt further removed from a world where queerness was accepted and celebrated. Instead, the men profiled here maneuver through family and friendship circles where masculinity dominates, gay sexuality is unspoken, and heterosexuality is strictly enforced. For these men, the path to sexual freedom often involves chasing the dreams while resisting the expectations of their immigrant parents—and finding community in each other.

Story0
Once America’s capitalist dream town, Detroit is our country’s greatest urban failure, having fallen the longest and the farthest. But the city’s worst crisis yet (and that’s saying something) has managed to do the unthinkable: turn the end of days into a laboratory for the future. Urban planners, land speculators, neopastoral agriculturalists, and utopian environmentalists―all have been drawn to Detroit’s baroquely decaying frontier. With an eye for both the darkly absurd and the radically new Detroit-area native Mark Binelli has chronicled this convergence.

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.

Story0
A birder strolling in Central Park. A college student lounging on a university quad. Two men sitting in a coffee shop. Perfectly ordinary actions in ordinary settings—and yet, they sparked jarring and inflammatory responses that involved the police and attracted national media coverage. Why? In essence, Elijah Anderson would argue, because these were Black people existing in white spaces. In this book, Anderson brings his immense knowledge and ethnography to bear in this timely study of the racial barriers that are still firmly entrenched in our society at every class level.

From the medieval cobbles, through Dickensian iron and fog, to the neon lights and bustle of the twenty-first century, the ever-changing streets of London map out the vibrant stories, triumphs and struggles of everyone who ever called London home. From the Roman and Celts marching along the ancient Old Kent Road, to the rattling newspaper presses of Fleet Street, the game of Monopoly has painted London's story across cheerful coloured tiles. But those Monopoly streets live and breathe—they don't just illuminate our history.

Our modern-day cities might seem to represent our separation from the natural world. In fact, as Ben Wilson reveals in this captivating re-examination of urban landscapes around the world, nature has always been at the heart of the city. Wilson explores the wild side of cities, past, present and future: the middens, abandoned sites and strips of land alongside railway lines.

This book is the first anthology to explore the connection between race and the suburbs in American cinema from the end of World War II to the present. It builds upon the explosion of interest in the suburbs in film, television, and fiction in the last fifteen years, concentrating exclusively on the relationship of race to the built environment. Race and the Suburbs in American Film is a stimulating resource for considering the manner in which race is foundational to architecture and urban geography, which is reflected, promoted, and challenged in cinematic representations.

Life in Cockney London was tough in the post-war years. The government's broken promises had led to a chronic housing shortage, rampant crime and families living in squalor. But one thing prevailed: the unbeatable spirit of the East End, a tight-knit community who pulled through the dark times with humour and heart. Drawing on both family history and her own memories of growing up in the 1950s and '60s, as well as her working life as a district nurse and local police officer, Jean Fullerton vividly depicts this fascinating part of London.

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.

Le città europee sono più di un luogo fisico, più della somma dei loro edifici, sono l'esito di una "intenzione estetica" che nasce dalla quotidianità dei cittadini. Marco Romano ripercorre le origini storiche di questa lunga ricerca della bellezza, individuando così il contributo fondamentale, sebbene poco raccontato, che le donne hanno dato a questo sviluppo. È stato infatti l'intuito e il desiderio femminile a suggerire ieri come oggi molte soluzioni che hanno dato forma alle nostre città, dalle capitali ai villaggi.

Asumiendo el miedo, la maternidad, la amistad, el activismo y las alegrías y peligros de estar sola, Kern traza un mapa de la ciudad desde nuevos puntos de vista, presenta un enfoque feminista interseccional de las historias urbanas y propone que la ciudad es quizás también nuestra mejor esperanza para dar forma a un nuevo futuro urbano.

Much ink has been spilled in recent years talking about political divides and inequality in the United States. But these discussions too often miss one of the most important factors in the divisions among Americans: the fundamentally unequal nature of the nation's housing systems. Increasingly, important life outcomes—performance in school, employment, even life expectancy—are determined by where people live and the quality of homes they live in. Fixer-Upper is the first book assessing how local, state, and national housing policies affect people and communities.

Bari non è una città qualsiasi del Sud. Tra i grandi capoluoghi meridionali, è il solo a non aver mai avuto un univoco centro di potere. È stata spesso divisa da istituzioni e forze sociali difformi e contrastanti: lo Stato e la Chiesa, la Magistratura e la Mafia, i fascisti e i comunisti, i ricchi e i poveri. Una città di antinomie e di opposizioni, che si è costruita grazie all'apporto faticoso di tribù di non baresi, gente proveniente da fuori che l'ha arricchita di fame e di lavoro.

Desperate overcrowding is found in the shadow of ultraluxury property developments. A 20-minute bus ride across the borough can encompass a 30-year difference in life expectancy.
