Will the Digital Divide further segregate cities? What’s the connection between New Orleans and Haiti? Is Atlanta’s new BeltLine project the city’s savior? Issue No. 21 of Next American City includes answers to these questions as well as interviews with Sudhir Venkatesh of Freakonomics fame and Joseph Roberts who is revolutionizing New Jersey’s affordable housing. Short pieces about local news Web sites, Reseda, Calif.’s attempt to renew itself, New York’s bank-branch obsession, and unreasonable telecommuting taxes round out the contents.
