Downtown in the "New American City"

University of Pennsylvania

The "new American city" is composed of many parts, including downtowns of primary cities whose contents have changed over the past fifty years as a new paradigm about their functions has emerged. Housing has increasingly played an important role, as seen in earlier studies documenting the rise of this phenomenon. A contextual explanation for increases in downtown residential populations and updated data on current levels help assess the effects of this change on the area.

Key Words: downtown • urban revitalization • housing • central business district
