Book Synopsis The Image of the City by : Kevin Lynch
Download or read book The Image of the City written by Kevin Lynch and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1964-06-15 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic work on the evaluation of city form. What does the city's form actually mean to the people who live there? What can the city planner do to make the city's image more vivid and memorable to the city dweller? To answer these questions, Mr. Lynch, supported by studies of Los Angeles, Boston, and Jersey City, formulates a new criterion—imageability—and shows its potential value as a guide for the building and rebuilding of cities. The wide scope of this study leads to an original and vital method for the evaluation of city form. The architect, the planner, and certainly the city dweller will all want to read this book.
Book Synopsis Five-Finger Discount by : Helene Stapinski
Download or read book Five-Finger Discount written by Helene Stapinski and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2002-03-12 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now a PBS documentary, this astonishing memoir of growing up in rough-and-tumble Jersey City “will steal your heart” (People) With deadpan humor and obvious affection, Five-Finger Discount recounts the story of an unforgettable New Jersey family of swindlers, bookies, embezzlers, and mobster-wannabes. In the memoir Mary Karr calls “a page-turner,” Helene Stapinski ingeniously weaves the checkered history of her hometown of Jersey City—a place known for its political corruption and industrial blight—with the tales that have swirled around her relatives for decades. Navigating a childhood of toxic waste and tough love, Stapinski tells an extraordinary tale at once heartbreaking and hysterically funny. Praise for Five-Finger Discount “By turns hilarious and alarming, [Helene Stapinski’s] book reads on the surface like something by Damon Runyon and Elmore Leonard, with a dark undertow of real-life pain and disillusion.”—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times “It’s a brilliant book, a darling book. It is the blessedly modest chronicle of a magical consciousness that seems to have been born pulling diamonds out of the muck, hearing angels’ voices in the fiercest thunder. . . . I adored every word of this wondrous book. Get it. Read it.”—Michael Pakenham, The Baltimore Sun “In the tradition of . . . Rita Mae Brown and Amy Tan, Ms. Stapinski is an exciting writer, unabashedly candid, and at the same time unashamedly self-contained. Five-Finger Discount is a must-read.”—Victoria Gotti, The New York Observer “What [Frank] McCourt did for Limerick, Ireland, Helene Stapinski does for Jersey City.”—The Star-Ledger “Hugely entertaining.”—The Sunday Times (London)
Book Synopsis How Newark Became Newark by : Brad R. Tuttle
Download or read book How Newark Became Newark written by Brad R. Tuttle and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in forty years, the story of one of America's most maligned cities is told in all its grit and glory. With its open-armed embrace of manufacturing, Newark, New Jersey, rode the Industrial Revolution to great prominence and wealth that lasted well into the twentieth century. In the postwar years, however, Newark experienced a perfect storm of urban troublesùpolitical corruption, industrial abandonment, white flight, racial conflict, crime, poverty. Cities across the United States found themselves in similar predicaments, yet Newark stands out as an exceptional case. Its saga reflects the rollercoaster ride of Everycity U.S.A., only with a steeper rise, sharper turns, and a much more dramatic plunge. How Newark Became Newark is a fresh, unflinching popular history that spans the city's epic transformation from a tiny Puritan village into a manufacturing powerhouse, on to its desperate struggles in the twentieth century and beyond. After World War II, unrest mounted as the minority community was increasingly marginalized, leading to the wrenching civic disturbances of the 1960s. Though much of the city was crippled for years, How Newark Became Newark is also a story of survival and hope. Today, a real estate revival and growing population are signs that Newark is once again in ascendance.

Book excerpt: Andrew Sancton combines his own broad knowledge of global changes with an outline and comparison of the viewpoints of prominent social scientists to argue that city regions in western liberal democracies will not and cannot be self-governing.

Book Synopsis Jersey City of To-Day by : Walter Gregory Muirheid
Download or read book Jersey City of To-Day written by Walter Gregory Muirheid and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jersey City of to-Day: Its History, People, Trades, Commerce, Institutions and Industries There were people in Jersey City in 1870. To-day there is, therefore, an increase of about 200 per cent. At this rate of growth Jersey City will be a city of in 1936, but there are none who will not admit that she will have reached the million mark by that time. There are factors of progress to-day that never existed before, and these factors will so materially increase the ratio of increase that the most Optimistic prophet of to-day will be unable to tell what will be the population of Jersey City in 1936. The figures as given above are most conservative, and are based upon the percentage of increase during the past twenty-nine years. They do not take into account the subways, river tunnels and other factors of progress, whose influence is now beginning to be felt. Those agencies, it is believed, will increase the rate of growth so that Jersey City will in all probability have a population of long before 1936. Jersey City is the county seat of Hudson County, the smallest county in point of area yet the most densely populated in the state, the population of the county numbering and comprising thirteen municipalities, divided into two sections of ten and three municipalities each, separated by the Hackensack meadows. The smaller of these two groups comprises what is known as West Hudson and, because of its distance from the county 'seat, forms a locality of its own. The larger group is one great city, the border line separating the various municipalities being the centre of a street, so that the average outsider would not be aware of the fact that he had passed from one municipality to another. This group of municipalities comprises a population of and it is only a question of a few years when it will become a greater Jersey City. Efforts in the direction of consolidation have been under way for some time, but thus far the actual result has not been accomplished, though both commercial and topographic conditions all tend towards the eventful merger ofjersey City, Bayonne, Hoboken, West Hoboken, Union Hill, Weehawken, North Bergen and the smaller towns of Guttenberg, West New York and Secaucus as one great municipality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its primordial inception as a Dutch trading post on the left bank of the Hudson River to its late-19th-century reign as one of the world's great industrial centers and transportation termini, Jersey City has always been a city about people--the bold pioneers who reshaped its forested hills and elevated landscapes into a major municipality brimming with immigrant-filled neighborhoods, from which emerged even more distinct personalities.
