Drawing on a range of historical sources, including archival documents, oral histories, and statistical data, the book examines the ways in which postwar policies and practices contributed to the decline of low-income neighborhoods and the rise of gentrified enclaves.

The book also explores the social and cultural consequences of gentrification, including the displacement of long-time residents, the loss of affordable housing, and the homogenization of the city's neighborhoods.

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of New York City, urban studies, or the processes of gentrification and displacement.
