People feel intensely connected to cities as places and to other people who feel that same connection. In order to understand place - and understand human settlements generally - it is important to understand that places are not created by accident. They are created in order to further a political or economic agenda. Better cities emerge when the people who shape them think more broadly and consciously about the places they are creating. In Place and Prosperity: How Cities Help Us to Connect and Innovate, urban planning expert William Fulton takes an engaging look at the process by which these decisions about places are made, how cities are engines of prosperity, and how place and prosperity are deeply intertwined. Fulton has been writing about cities over his forty-year career that includes working as a journalist, professor, mayor, planning director, and the director of an urban think tank in one of America's great cities. Place and Prosperity is a curated collection of his writings with new and updated selections and framing material.Though the essays in Place and Prosperity are in some ways personal, drawing on Fulton's experience in learning and writing about cities, their primary purpose is to show how these two ideas - place and prosperity - lie at the heart of what a city is and, by extension, what our society is all about.Fulton shows how, over time, a successful place creates enduring economic assets that don't go away and lay the groundwork for prosperity in the future. But for urbanism to succeed, all of us have to participate in making cities great places for everybody. Because cities, imposing though they may be as physical environments, don't work without us.Cities are resilient. They've been buffeted over the decades by White flight, decay, urban renewal, unequal investment, increasingly extreme weather events, and now the worst pandemic in a century, and they're still going strong. Fulton shows that at their best, cities not only inspire and uplift us, but they make our daily life more convenient, more fulfilling - and more prosperous. 517 $aPlace and Prosperity 606 $aSociology, Urban$zUnited States 606 $aUrban economics 606 $aCity planning$zUnited States 606 $aCities and towns$zUnited States 610 $aSustainable Architecture 610 $aSociology, Urban 610 $aArchitecture 610 $aSocial Science 615 0$aSociology, Urban 615 0$aUrban economics. 615 0$aCity planning 615 0$aCities and towns 676 $a307.76 700 $aFulton$b William$041611 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815754203321 996 $aPlace and Prosperity$94089929 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01569nas 22004813a 450 001 9910142981303321 005 20240905022407.0 035 $a(OCoLC)42192668 035 $a(CKB)1000000000332058 035 $a(CONSER)--2005214207 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2095313-6 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000332058 100 $a19990818a19849999 s-- a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aPerspectives on history 210 $aWashington, D.C. $cAmerican Historical Association 300 $a"Electronic newsletter of the American Historical Association." 300 $aTitle from journal home page (viewed July 12, 2005). 311 08$a1940-8048 517 3 $aPerspectives 517 1 $aPerspectives on history 517 3 $aAmerican Historical Association newsletter 517 3 $aNewsletter of the American Historical Association 531 $aPERSPECTIVES - AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION 606 $aHistory$vPeriodicals 606 $aHistory$xSocieties, etc$vPeriodicals 606 $aHistory$xSocieties, etc$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00958293 606 $aHistory$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00958235 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 615 0$aHistory 615 0$aHistory$xSocieties, etc. 615 7$aHistory$xSocieties, etc. 615 7$aHistory. 676 $a905 712 02$aAmerican Historical Association. 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910142981303321 996 $aPerspectives on history$94260825 997 $aUNINA
