Summary:

"American cities have grown in fits and starts born of technological innovation. The current cycle of urban growth apparently dates from the 1970s and is likely to persist into the 2020s. In Our Changing Cities some of the world's most eminent urban geographers bring their expertise to bear on the American urban scene. They describe how our cities have evolved, assess their current character. and look ahead to the momentous changes yet to come. Book jacket."--Jacket.
