Sommario/riassunto

Philadelphia offers a historical overview, from William Penn's founding of the Quaker City to its deindustrialization and gentrification in the early twenty-first century. As Roger Simon demonstrates, the history of Philadelphia is the story of the enduring efforts to sustain economic prosperity while fulfilling community needs, and the continued tension between these priorities.
