The Suburbanization of New York?

Historian and filmmaker Suzanne Wasserman and Neil Smith, who’s been called the "father of gentrification theory," discuss whether suburbanization is edging out New York’s unique character. Suzanne Wasserman is the director of the Gotham Center for New York City History at the City University of New York Graduate Center. Neil Smith is Distinguished Professor of Anthropology and Geography at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, where he also directs the Center for Place, Culture, and Politics. Both are contributors to The Suburbanization of New York.
