New York City entered 1986 as a city reborn. Over the next four years, a singular confluence of events – involving a cast of outsized, unforgettable characters – would widen those divisions into chasms. Ed Koch. Donald Trump. Al Sharpton. The Central Park Five. Larry Kramer. Spike Lee. Rudy Giuliani. Howard Beach. Tawana Brawley. The Preppy Murder. The Tompkins Square Riots. Jimmy Breslin. Ivan Boesky. Do the Right Thing, Wall Street, crack, the AIDS epidemic, Black Monday and, of course, ready to pour gasoline on every fire – the tabloids.

A musician and snow removal expert, a queer curator, a public pool aficionado, and a journalist turned city councillor—these are just some of the disabled writers exploring disability justice, analyzing urban systems, and proposing more equitable approaches to city building in this anthology. Essays and interviews push the conversation about accessibility beyond policy papers and compliance checklists to show how disabled people are already creating more inclusive spaces in cities of all sizes.

Рустам Рахматуллин - писатель-эссеист, краевед, многие годы изучающий историю Москвы, - по-новому осмысляет москвоведческие знания. Автор прибегает к неожиданным сопоставлениям и умозаключениям, ведет читателя одновременно по видимой и невидимой столице. Сравнивая ее с Римом, Иерусалимом, Константинополем, а также с Петербургом и другими русскими городами, он видит Москву как чудо проявления Высшего замысла, воплощаемого на протяжении многих веков в событиях истории, в художественных памятниках, в городской топографии, в символическом пространстве городских монастырей и бывших загородных усадеб.

В Питер стекались те, у кого с удачей была напряженка. Им казалось, что приехать сюда стоило только ради того, чтобы тебе фартило всю оставшуюся жизнь. Они еще не знали, что совсем скоро Питер проникнет в их дом, в их постель, он будет все время рядом; куда бы они ни уезжали от этого города, он будет сидеть у них под кожей, как у героев этой истории, где отношения на завтрак, обед и ужин не только со вкусом белых ночей, но и с привкусом серых будней.

"La idea de salir a recorrer -y a contar- las grandes ciudades sudacas se me ocurrió cuando pensé que quería tratar de entender qué es hoy América Latina. Hace mucho que no lo intentamos y, en general, solemos conservar esa imagen rural, ecololó de una región que es, ahora mismo, la más urbana del mundo. Cuatro de cada cinco latinoamericanos viven en ciudades, pero no son ciudades como las que uno imagina cuando piensa en Barcelona o en París. Para saber cómo son -cómo es Latinoamérica- decidí volver a hacer eso que siempre me ha gustado hacer: ir, mirar, escuchar, pensar, contarlo."— Martín Caparrós

Ogni terremoto è un fatto culturale, ancora prima che geologico: sotto la polvere e i detriti si aggrega una narrazione condivisa, fatta di dicerie e avvenimenti reali fusi insieme, a formare ricordi e nuove credenze. Le narrazioni dei recenti terremoti tendono a scindere i due aspetti: o sono asettiche raccolte di dati, o sono storie strappalacrime.

Historian Georgina Hickey investigates challenges to the code of urban gender segregation in the twentieth century, focusing on organized advocacy to make the public spaces of American cities accessible to women. She traces waves of activism from the Progressive Era, with its calls for public restrooms, safe and accessible transportation, and public accommodations, through and beyond second-wave feminism, and its focus on the creation of alternative, women-only spaces and extensive anti-violence efforts.

On the streets of every city a true life battle between revenge and justice is fought. Marginalized communities caught in the crossfire of violence, poverty, drugs, and abuse, seem to spiral. To those on the outside, it is too easily brushed off and judged as just the way things are. To those on the inside, what happens stems from a fight for survival, a longing for family stability, and is a reflection of all they’ve ever known. Author Iran Nazario has lived this. Beaten and abused as a child, witnessing and experiencing things no child should, he was forced to grow up too fast.

"Bodegas: Urban Children Health Matters" delves deep into the complex interplay between these corner stores and the health outcomes of Urban children residing in urban settings. As the subsequent chapters will elucidate, while these stores offer an array of goods, the preponderance of sugary, fatty, and processed foods poses critical challenges. For many Urban families, especially those in underserved neighborhoods, bodegas are sometimes the most accessible — or even the only — food sources available.

In Kings of the Garden, Adam J. Criblez traces the fall and rise of the New York Knicks between the 1973, the year they won their last NBA championship, and 1985, when the organization drafted Patrick Ewing and gave their fans hope after a decade of frustrations. During these years, the teams led by Walt Frazier, Earl Monroe, Bob McAdoo, Spencer Haywood, and Bernard King never achieved tremendous on-court success, and their struggles mirrored those facing New York City over the same span.

Sustainable: The WAR on Free Enterprise, Private Property and Individuals describes in detail the process being used at every level of government to reorganize our society under the excuse of environmental protection. Author Tom DeWeese pulls back the curtain to reveal the policies and the powers behind them that are systematically changing our culture and system of government to impose a political agenda of top-down control at every level.

For fifty years “Detroit” has been shorthand for all that's wrong with urban America: crime, corruption, decay, racial tension, struggling businesses, failing schools, a declining tax base, and more. Since 1950 Detroit has lost two-thirds of its population, falling from fifth place in the U.S. (just behind Los Angeles) to twenty-fourth (just behind Nashville). Between 2000 and 2017 alone, its population fell 28%, a steeper drop than any other major American city.

As the ongoing Flint water crisis marks its tenth anniversary, Chariton reveals shocking new evidence of the major government cover-up that resulted in the poisoning of Flint—and shatters what you think you know about what caused the water crisis.

Unsettling Choice traces the contestations that surfaced when, in the wake of the 2007-2009 Great Recession, public schools navigated austerity by expanding choice-based programs. Ujju Aggarwal argues that this strategy mobilized mechanisms rooted in market logics to recruit families with economic capital on their side, solidifying a public sphere that increasingly resembled the private.
