Resurgent Cities

Aaron Gurwitz

Chapter Chapter 17 in Atlantic Metropolis, 2019, pp 573-602 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter begins by presenting three explanations drawn from the urban studies literature for the fact that some U.S. cities, very much including New York, began growing robustly around the turn of the twenty-first century. These are the consumer, skilled, and creative cities hypotheses. The second part of the chapter considers whether a 1980 observer possessed with the insights generated by this literature would have identified New York as one of the winners and concludes that such an observer could not have made that prediction with any confidence.
