How to Kill a City: Gentrification, Inequality, and the Fight for the Neighborhood by P.E. Moskowitz

informative medium-paced

4.5

Explored 4 different cities and their different forms of gentrification. Helped me to understand the ways that politicians and corporations focus on bringing profit to the city, at the expense of its people and public spaces. I especially appreciated the studies on Detroit and New Orleans, and learned the ways that city officials and developers pounced on the aftermath of Katrina to rebrand for more profit and push Black residents out of the city. It helps me to identify my own city’s efforts to push poor people out to make rich people richer.
