Description
"The New Geography decodes the massive shifting of resources under way nationwide, examining new forms of social organization that are blooming and old forms that are evolving but dying. Along the way, the book shows how this vast upheaval has been a blessing for some of America's cities, notably those that excel at the preindustrial city's age-old role as a crossroads for creativity, trade, and culture. But not all cities are created equal, and the book explains which are best equipped to thrive, which are doomed to decline, and why. The New Geography also explores a whole set of other kinds of communities - such as high-tech 'nerdistans' and bucolic Valhallas - that are thriving while others are dying." "The product of years of research, The New Geography is an essential road map to the utterly new landscape created by the digital economy."--Jacket.
