Dual City
“Dual city” describes a city that is starkly divided into places of wealth and places of poverty with little in between. The concept dates back to the mid‐nineteenth century, and research from the early 1990s documented a number of polarizing trends in the socioeconomic conditions of cities as incomes became more unequal, jobs more concentrated at the high end and low end of the service sector, and neighborhoods more fractured into places of gent…
Manufacturing Landmarks in New York City Parks
Recently, derelict artifacts of the industrial age such as railroad tracks and gantry cranes have emerged as prominent aesthetic features in New York City’s newest parks. This article documents and analyzes this new practice of historic preservation in three new parks, including the internationally acclaimed High Line. Socioeconomic data confirm that these industrial-themed parks exist in neighborhoods marked by dramatic postindustrial change. I …
The High Line and the ideal of democratic public space
This study examines New York’s internationally acclaimed High Line with regard to the democratic ideal of urban parks as places of social mixing among diverse groups in the city. Observational surveys were conducted to assess the levels of racial/ethnic diversity among visitors to the High Line and four other Manhattan parks, and census data were collected on the race/ethnicity of residents in surrounding neighborhoods, the borough of Manhattan, …
Remaking Beijing: Tiananmen Square and the Creation of a Political Space – By Wu Hung
Rethinking the Dual City
This article examines social polarization in New York City: first, as an objective condition among city neighborhoods; and second, as an issue in city politics. Data on income, poverty, housing, and crime provide little evidence of growing polarization between low- and high-income neighborhoods in the 1990s. However, the data reveal a striking contrast between the spectacular gains of core areas and the widespread stagnation and decline across lo…

Tragedy and Transformation in New York City
Learning from St. Thomas: Community, Capital, and the Redevelopment of Public Housing in New Orleans
Current efforts to redevelop public housing in the US create new opportunities and risks for low-income residents. Although cities are able to pursue innovative strategies for combatting troubled public housing, the danger is that the interests of the residents will be subordinated to those of the local power structure—especially where public housing poses an obstacle to revitalization. This article examines the efforts to redevelop the St. Thoma…
Historic Preservation and Progrowth Politics in U.S. Cities
The author considers the proposition that a historic preservation strategy helps unify progrowth coalitions. Preservation was facilitated by restructuring development policies in response to the breakdown of urban renewal coalitions. In New York City, the preservation of historic theaters mobilized support for office development by redefining the 42nd Street Development Project as an effort to restore the theater district known as the Great White…
