Join us for ULI Oklahoma's annual Fall #ULIBookClub as we dive into How to Kill a City: Gentrification, Inequality, and the Fight for the Neighborhood.

The term gentrification has become a buzzword to describe the changes in urban neighborhoods across the country, but we don’t realize just how threatening it is. It means more than the arrival of trendy shops, much-maligned hipsters, and expensive lattes. The very future of American cities as vibrant, equitable spaces hangs in the balance.

P. E. Moskowitz’s How to Kill a City explores what gentrification is, how it begins, and the forces that drive it. The thesis is simple: gentrification is a local effect, but the cause is national and even global, so the solutions must be a similar combination of these levels of community and government. Boots-on-the-ground activists are essential but if they fight by themselves they are in for a losing battle. A vigorous, hard-hitting exposé, How to Kill a City reveals who holds power in our cities and how we can get it back.
