Peter Moskowitz is a freelance journalist who has written for the Guardian, New York Times, New Republic, Wired, Slate, Buzzfeed, and many others. A former staff writer at Al Jazeera America, he is a graduate of Hampshire College and the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism. Moskowitz lives in New York City.
The term gentrification has become a buzzword to describe the changes in urban neighborhoods across the country, but we don't 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.
Peter Moskowitz's How to Kill a City takes readers from the kitchen tables of hurting families who can no longer afford their homes to the corporate boardrooms and political backrooms where destructive housing policies are devised. Along the way, Moskowitz uncovers the massive, systemic forces behind gentrification in New Orleans, Detroit, San Francisco, and New York. The deceptively simple question of who can and cannot afford to pay the rent goes to the heart of America's crises of race and inequality. In the fight for economic opportunity and racial justice, nothing could be more important than housing.
A vigorous, hard-hitting expose, How to Kill a City reveals who holds power in our cities-and how we can get it back

一直對城市學和Gentrification現象非常感興趣,但沒找到閤適的讀本(這本看上去也不太行…)“Private investment shapes cities, but social ideas shape private investment”。
評分這事本身復雜,講明白本就不容易。很喜歡Alicia說的 “All of this country's history is a history of black resistance. When we fight back, change happens. It's getting us to stand up and fight back that's the issue. When do we get to a point where we stand up and say, 'I'm fired up, I can't take it no more'? I know I'm fired up. I know I can't take it no more."
