Traces the evolution of American metropolitan life. "Edge cities" are the centers of production in post-suburban America. This book surveys metropolitan areas from the Rust Belt to the Sun Belt and the way in which postwar social, racial, and cultural shifts contributed to the decline of the central city as a hub of work, shopping, and transports.
