Review
"Deeply researched survey of the dual processes of revival and decline in American cities large and small… certain chapters, particularly one on gentrification, captivate." (Booklist)"Picks apart the slow progress in the U.S.'s post-industrial (or 'legacy') cities, and finds that by and large, it's leaving a large portion, mainly low-income and nonwhite, of the population behind." (Fast Company)"This important new book is a must-read for anyone working to change the course of urban American today, perhaps in Detroit most of all." (Detroit Free Press)"The Divided City is a must-read. Focusing on the often overlooked Rust Belt region, Mallach counters the dominant narrative of the post-industrial, downtown revitalization happening across U.S. cities by taking an in depth look at the many areas that are seeing the opposite." (Archinect)"Alan Mallach’s The Divided City is the best and most relevant book written on urban planning and policy in post-industrial cities in the 21st century...[It] is not only packed with information and ideas, but is well-written, enjoyable, and engaging....[it] provides a thorough, nuanced, and much-needed discussion about race and concentrated poverty...vitally important..useful to practitioners, academics, and citizens...a classic on urban planning and policy." (Cleveland Scene)"Compelling...valuable." (Tulsa Book Review)"A cogent analysis of the current state of play of the nation's urban challenges and opportunities, and will give anyone who thinks about cities a wealth of new information, a powerful perspective on cities and neighborhood change, and some inspirational words." (City Observatory)"Timely...Mallach...offers a cogent, data-driven analysis of urban polarization, how we got here, and what it will take to create inclusive cities that work for all." (Shelterforce)"The Divided City makes important contributions towards understanding both gentrification and neighborhood decline....[It]is one of the three most important books on cities that I have read in recent years." (Housing Studies)"In The Divided City, Alan Mallach expertly charts the decline of America's industrial cities, and explores what has led to their unexpected, and at times unequal, resurgence. By looking at cases across the country—from Detroit to Pittsburgh to Baltimore, and more—Mallach paints a complicated picture of urban inequality in the United States and examines its many causes and manifestations, including its disproportionate impact on communities of color. This book is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand how the forces of structural inequality shape the cities we know and love, and what tools we have as policy makers, nonprofits, and residents to make our cities more just, equal places to live." (Darren Walker, President of the Ford Foundation)

I live in Detroit, and am recommending this book to my bookclub, because Mallach places our continuing situation in Detroit in a much broader and factual context. We are not unique. Even though our midtown is making a remarkable comeback, most other parts of our city are becoming poorer and poorer. As Mallach shows, the two are not actually much connected, but some folks will claim that they are and that midtown revival must be squelched because it is what is sucking the blood out of these declining and hopeless areas. And that "strategy" in the end helps no one. Mallach is a little weak on strategies of how better to address the needs of both of these opportunities/problems. But, he provides groundbreaking insight into the true parameters of these issues, and is therefore a "must read" for anyone who is concerned with either issue.
Well articulated review of urban areas and the problems they face. The author doesn’t merely focus on popular opinion but rations out his own positions. It’s also nice that, when referring to hypothetical people, he calls them “she†and not “heâ€.
Excellent read! Very engaging and informative. If you are at all interested in urban planning and urban studies, this book is a “must read!â€!
Great book and great service!!
Allan Mallach takes you to the core of America in this book.
A surprisingly enjoyable adventure, The Divided City is a truly rewarding work. I say “surprisingly†because as a lay reader, I approached the subject with a certain wariness, knowing only what we all hear in the popular press. But I was quickly won over by Mallach’s vigorous and lucid prose. And beyond his engaging style, I became convinced after only a few pages that the urban question matters to us all. None of us will be unaffected by the fate and future of our American cities.Having been commissioned to map the extent of gentrification in Milwaukee, the author learned first-hand how these areas had revived as well as how fraught the very question is. And indicative of the way Mallach’s imaginatively analytic mind works, he flipped it, going on to map the extent of the areas that, at the same time, had declined. The results of his investigation triggered this book.Exciting, yes, well-educated young millennials pouring into places like Baltimore and Detroit, effecting a demographic and economic transformation from manufacturing to “eds and meds,†the cluster of university and hospital businesses become the beating heart of these cities. Sounds like we should celebrate. But wait, why are these same “revival†cities turning into places of an ever-widening gap between rich and poor, white and black? In short, burgeoning cafes and clubs, bicycle shops and artist studios don’t guarantee affordable housing and neighborhoods where everyone feels that they belong and are valued.This book is not just about gentrification, however, for the author deftly integrates his detailed treatment of a loaded subject within a larger and most compelling analysis and argument. While never losing me in the weeds, he examines the thorniest questions through a local lens, grounding his argument in the reality of neighborhoods and people’s day-to-day experience while recognizing the ever present reality of power and politics.In a book thoroughly rooted in concrete experiences—both the author’s and the people he has worked with and talked to over the last few years—we learn the story of what’s been happening on the ground in America’s older industrial cities, why it’s happening and what this means for the future. Along the way Mallach looks closely at shifting neighborhood dynamics and is not afraid to ask surprising and difficult questions. In an engagingly nuanced argument we visit both actual circumstances in actual cities and crisply summarized data to bolster it. Also, he’s not shy about suggesting how the path forward can be changed so that future decline is not inevitable.Ever mindful of the powerful social, economic, and demographic forces operating in cities, Mallach’s analysis and argument is driven by a belief that they can once again be “places of hope and opportunity for the many, not just the few.†Working toward this end is nothing short, he reminds us, of joining the struggle for the soul of our country. Having been instructed by this story of why we are where we are and what paths a “chastened optimist†suggests we follow if we are to have a chance of going successfully into the future, I’m left cheering for this visionary pragmatist.
A fine little book, emphasizing that the common story of widespread urban gentrification is one that applies to a few fast-growing cities, but that is mostly irrelevant to formerly industrial "legacy" cities in the Midwest and (occasionally) the Northeast. In cities such as Baltimore and St. Louis, there is some movement of affluent households into urban cores (mostly near universities and downtowns) but the majority of neighborhoods are stagnating or declining rather than gentrifying. Mallach also points out that the common equation of gentrification with displacement rarely make sense in these Rust Belt cities, for two reasons. First, gentrifying areas often had very little housing in the past, so sometimes there is no one to displace. Second, the equation of gentrification with displacement is based on the assumption that in the absence of gentrification, poor neighborhoods would be stable places. Mallach shows that poor households are disproportionatlely likely to move or be evicted even where housing prices are stable or decliningMallach finishes his book by discussing the two major problems facing cities: (1) how to retain their new middle class and (2) how to improve the lives of the poor. He shies away from large-scale "silver bullet" solutions, instead endorsing a variety of small improvements.
