Description

Focusing on Houston, acclaimed urbanist Kotkin examines "the region's ability to create jobs, offer affordable housing, and present entrepreneurial openings to a growing and highly diverse population as the surest signs of urban vibrancy. It embraces the fundamental principle that one of the primary historic roles of cities has been to nurture and grow a middle class - to be an engine of upward social mobility" -- Executive summary (p. 5.)
