Editorial Reviews

Review

"Richard Florida offers a brilliant assessment of the varied and evolving challenges facing our cities today. At a time when cities are more important than ever to our economic and political future, The New Urban Crisis is essential reading for urban leaders and all city-dwellers."―Richard M. Daley, former mayor of Chicago, -

"The New Urban Crisis bracingly confronts [the] tension between big-city elites and the urban underclass."―Wall Street Journal

"[Richard Florida] vividly expose[s] how gentrification, followed by rising housing costs, concentrated affluence, and glaring inequality has pushed the displaced into deteriorating suburbs far from mass transit, employment, services, and decent schools.... [The New Urban Crisis is] nuanced and proposes solutions."―Washington Post

"Florida draws subtle, thoughtful inferences from his research, and he writes in slick, approachable prose.... Throughout, the author remains an idealistic, perceptive observer of cities' transformations. A sobering account of inequality and spatial conflict rising against a cultural backdrop of urban change."
Kirkus Reviews

"Urban planners should consider the case being made for the need to address a new urban crisis. A thought-provoking work for those interested in all stages of urban planning and placemaking."
Library Journal

"The New Urban Crisis deserves to stand alongside Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century as an essential diagnosis of our contemporary ills, and a clear-eyed prescription of how to cure them."―Steven Johnson, -

"Richard Florida demonstrates again that he is one of the most discerning (and provocative) observers of the great metropolitan migrations of the past 60 years."
Governor John Hickenlooper, Colorado, -

"Cites are engines for prosperity and progress, but it's essential that the benefits extend far and wide. Florida proposes promising ideas for building stronger cities that offer greater opportunities for all."
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, New York City, -

"Richard Florida is the great pioneer thinker who first explained how the influx of creative people was reviving cities. Now he takes the next step: looking for ways to make this urbanism more inclusive."
Walter Isaacson, -

"This is the book we have been waiting for. Richard Florida is the greatest American urbanist of our time....This is an indispensable read for policy makers, students, educators, and all urban dwellers alike."
Mayor Eric Garcetti, Los Angeles, -

About the Author

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent book for people studying urbanism.
Reviewed in Mexico on June 12, 2019
Richard Florida is one of the best urban experts in the academic world. He really understands what is happening in almost all aspects of a city. This book is a must if you are studying urbanism because it gives you a better understanding of how cities affect the people who live in.
