Airport Cities 21 by McKinley Conway (Softcover, 8½ x 11, 124 pages, 1993) The book looks at the airport as a key component of urban developments of the future. The author contends that the world is entering a new era of development in which the dominant projects will be gigantic new "airport cities." Supporting that thesis, the book traces the link between transportation and development from the earliest days of human commerce into the coming century. The book looks at the evolution of airport development and the emergence of airport "cities." Examples include Munich's new $5.4 billion international airport; a $9.4 billion airport involving construction of an artificial island in Osaka Bay in Japan; and a $16 billion airport complex under way in Hong Kong. The book also identifies global opportunities for investors, business park developers and cargo and distribution facilities developers. |

Here's the Deal The Buying and Selling of the Great American City Edited by Ross Miller (Hardcover, 1996) For those who believe the success of cities stands at the bedrock of the health of the country or at least those interested in the historical, political and financial aspects of that argument, Here's the Deal is necessary reading. Ross Miller, a professor of English and comparative literature at the University of Connecticut and nephew of playwright Arthur Miller, traces the politics of city revitalization in Chicago from the 1950s to the 1990s. Any book about Chicago politics is, by definition, rife with power making and brokering, and this work is no exception, focusing on the story of a gutted block in the city and the deals between politicians and developers to resuscitate it. |
