New York Jews, so visible and integral to the culture, economy and politics of America's greatest city, has eluded the grasp of historians for decades. Surprisingly, no comprehensive history of New York Jews has ever been written. City of Promises: The History of the Jews in New York, a three volume set of original research, pioneers a path-breaking interpretation of a Jewish urban community at once the largest in Jewish history and most important in the modern world.

Classic representations of the city have focused on simplistic urban dichotomies such as renewal or decline, poverty or prosperity, and vice or vigor. We are left with the question of what actually constitutes a city and what makes it and its people succeed or fail. Recent writing on the city, however, has begun to question the images, metaphors, and discourses through which the contemporary city is represented. Discussing recent visual, architectural and spatial transformations in New York and other major world cities in relation to the themes of ethnicity, capital, and culture, Re-Presenting the City moves between interpretive representations of the newly emerging metropolis and the theoretical and methodological questions raised by the task of such representations. Contributors with backgrounds in urban planning, sociology, cultural studies, architecture, art history, geography, and philosophy reflect on the construction of both the real and the unreal city, the images, metaphors and discourses through which the contemporary city is represented, and the texts which both mediate our experience of, as well as contribute to producing, the city of the future.

Asian urbanization is entering a new phase that differs significantly from the patterns of city growth experienced in other developing countries and in the developed world. According to a recent hypothesis, zones of intensive economic interaction between rural and urban activities are emerging. The zones appear to be a new form of socioeconomic organization that is neither rural nor urban, but preserves essential ingredients of each.

The problems created by metropolitanization have become increasingly apparent. Strategies are needed to improve the world's major cities in the twenty-first century. Tom Angotti is fundamentally optimistic about the future of the metropolis, but questions urban planning's inability to integrate urban and rural systems, its contribution to the growth of inequality, and increasing enclave development throughout the world. Using the concept of 'urban orientalism' as a theoretical underpinning of modern urban planning grounded in global inequalities, Angotti confronts this traditional model with new, progressive approaches to community and metropolis.

Viewing architecture and urban development from the perspective of building contractors is a much neglected topic to date in architectural and art history. If mentioned at all, they are often even seen as potential adversaries of the architects, as their actions are allegedly determined solely by the maximisation of returns. Artistic or social aspects of building therefore supposedly have no note-worthy importance for them. However, it is the determined entrepreneurial and often very creative spirit of the contractors that allows the constructional realisation of architectural ideas for buildings. In view of this, this book is dedicated to the multi-faceted actions of six selected building contractors who were active when Berlin flourished to become a world city. The compact articles about their life and work also seek to illuminate their far-reaching, but largely unknown influence on the development of the cityscape and the architecture of Berlin. AUTHORS: Prof. Wolfgang Schache teaches at the Beuth Hochsschule Berlin. Daniel Schmitz & Co. is a Berlin-based real estate development and investment firm with an unmatched commitment to exceptional architecture and true craftsmanship.The focus of its activities is the design and development of distinctive high-end residential property and exclusive homes. 180 colour, 54 b/w images

Draws on renowned social thinkers to help understand why Americans flock to urban centers The modern city is the nexus of culture, politics, and art. Despite the manifold problems cities face, more and more Americans are abandoning rural areas and relocating to urban centers. By the year 2000, 4 out of 5 Americans will live within one hour of a major city. What has prompted this emphasis on the city? Chronicling the rise of the modern city, Metropolis draws from the work of such renowned social thinkers as Georg Simmel, Lewis Mumford, Walter Benjamin, Richard Sennett, and Herbert Gans, to illustrate how and why we have come to be an urban society and what the future holds for the American city. Each of the five sections (on modernity and the urban ethos; New York City; community and social bonds in the city; social relations and public places; and the role of space, race, class, and politics in the American city) is prefaced by an introduction by the editor, highlighting the issues under discussion.

At the end of the Second World War, Phoenix began a process of growth and development that transformed it from a modest sized city into a great American metropolis. The capital of a state still regarded as close to the frontier, Phoenix began with an economy dominated by agriculture, tourism, and health-seekers. Within a few years, it was a leading competitor in the emerging new economy of electronics and high technology. This book describes how Phoenicians met the challenges of the postwar era and took advantage of both national trends and local opportunities to build a growth machine that has continued until today Phoenix is the fifth largest city in the United States. From 1944 to 1973, Phoenixs political economy was largely under the control of a local business and civic elite. Although not homogeneous, this leadership successfully imposed its growth-oriented vision of the citys future on the larger population. Contrary visions were all too often effectively ignored or suppressed. Touching on nearly all aspects of the citys development, The Emerging Metropolis demonstrates how many seemingly separate strands of growth were vitally interconnected. Political, economic, and social trends and events did not occur in isolation from each other. Each of these sectors compelled change elsewhere while at the same time constraining opportunities. Not merely the story of change and progress, this book also gives due regard to the limitations and failures that prevented the leadership from entirely attaining their envisioned metropolis. Not the least of these was the eventual loss of local control over Phoenixs economy. Still, the achievements of this era included monumental strides in the development of many cultural, educational, social, and economic institutions. Perhaps its greatest legacy, both for good and ill, was an irrepressible momentum towards future developmenta political economy that is a juggernaut of growth.
