Voorbeeld van de inhoud
The New Urban Crisis by Richard Florida is a book that explores the problems facing cities in the 21stcentury. Florida argues that cities are becoming increasingly unequal, and that this inequality is driven
by a number of factors, including the concentration of high-skilled jobs in a small number of cities, the
rising cost of housing, and the displacement of lower-income residents.
The book begins by discussing the history of cities and how they have evolved over time. Florida
notes that cities have always been places of inequality, but that the nature of this inequality has
changed in recent years. He argues that in the past, cities were divided along racial and ethnic lines,
but that today's cities are divided along economic lines.
Florida then goes on to discuss the causes of this new urban crisis. He argues that the concentration of
high-skilled jobs in a small number of cities is a major driver of inequality. These cities, which he calls
"superstar cities", are attracting large numbers of highly-skilled workers, driving up housing costs and
making it difficult for lower-income residents to afford to live there.
The author also discusses the role of technology in exacerbating the urban crisis. He argues that
technological advances have led to the automation of many jobs, and that this has disproportionately
affected lower-skilled workers. Additionally, Florida explains that technology has led to the
decentralization of many jobs, which has made it easier for companies to locate outside of cities, and
this has led to the decline of many urban areas.
Another important topic discussed in the book is the impact of housing affordability on urban
inequality. Florida argues that rising housing costs are making it increasingly difficult for lower-
income residents to afford to live in cities, and that this is leading to the displacement of these
residents to the suburbs or even further out of the metropolitan areas. He also claims that affordable
housing policies alone, are not enough to solve the problem, and suggests a more comprehensive
approach is needed to address the housing affordability crisis.
The book concludes by offering a number of policy recommendations for addressing the new urban
crisis. Florida suggests that cities must invest in affordable housing, public transportation, and other
infrastructure to ensure that all residents have access to the benefits of urban living. Additionally, he
argues that cities should encourage the development of a diverse range of housing options, and that
they should work to promote more inclusive economic development policies.
In summary, "The New Urban Crisis" by Richard Florida is a book that explores the problems facing
cities in the 21st century. Through a historical overview and detailed analysis, the author argues that
cities are becoming increasingly unequal, and that this inequality is driven by a number of factors,
including the concentration of high-skilled jobs in a small number of cities, the rising cost of housing,
and the displacement of lower-income residents. He also provides a number of policy
recommendations for addressing the new urban crisis.
