Even as postindustrial cities have climbed from the depths of decline in the twenty-first century, they have witnessed a cruel paradox: with prosperity has come greater inequality. Tracing the origins and effects of uneven revitalization, this book examines the genesis of America's second urban crisis and prospects for its resolution.

One of the major growth fields of the past quarter century, American urban history has generated a rich and diverse literature spanning a number of disciplines in the social sciences and humanities.

Camden After the Fall chronicles the history of a classic post-industrial American city and points toward a sustained urban revitalization strategy for the twenty-first century.

As the only American city under direct congressional control, Washington has served historically as a testing ground for federal policy initiatives. Well-intentioned efforts to introduce measures of social justice for the district's black population have failed. This book addresses the revitalization and the aftereffects of an urban sports arena.
