This extraordinary book is both a richly textured portrait of New Haven, Connecticut, and the story of the rise and fall of American cities. Douglas Rae depicts the reasons for urban decline, explains why government spending has failed to restore urban vitality, and offers suggestions to enhance city life in the future. A terrific read, moving seductively from the minutiae of neighborhood history to grand global forces.”Robert Putnam, author of Bowling Alone An extraordinarily detailed study of New Haven, tracing the city’s rise in the early part of the 20th century and its fall in the second halfan almost archetypal tale of the American city.”Edward Rothstein, New York Times For anyone with the slightest interest in cities, this book is that rare combination: a must-read volume that you can’t put down.”Planning Magazine Rae has provided the blueprint for the next generation of thinkers and city dwellers who debate the future of urban America. . . . A tour de force of research.”Paul Bass, New Haven Advocate
