Considered one of the city's most notorious industrial slums in the 1940's and 1950's, Brownstone Brooklyn by the 1980's had become a post-industrial landscape of hip bars, yoga studios, and beautifully renovated, wildly expensive townhouses. In The Invention of Brownstone Brooklyn, Suleiman Osman offers a groundbreaking history of this unexpected transformation. Challenging the conventional wisdom that New York City's renaissance started in the 1990's, Osman locates the origins of gentrificationGentrificationNew York (State)New YorkHistory20th centuryCity planningNew York (State)New YorkHistory20th centuryCommunity developmentNew York (State)New YorkHistory20th centuryBrooklyn (New York, N.Y.)History20th centuryBrooklyn (New York, N.Y.)Electronic books.GentrificationHistoryCity planningHistoryCommunity developmentHistory307.3/4160974723Osman Suleiman882241MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458690803321The invention of brownstone Brooklyn1970585UNINA
