<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"With a new introduction and afterword by the author"--Cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>When the World Trade Towers in New York City were erected at the Hudson's edge, they led the way to a real estate boom that was truly astonishing. <i>Divided We Stand</i> reveals the coming together and eruption of four volatile elements: super-tall buildings, financial speculation, globalization, and terrorism. The Trade Center serves as a potent symbol of the disastrous consequences of undemocratic planning and development. This book is a history of that skyscraping ambition and the impact it had on New York and international life. It is a portrait of a building complex that lives at the convergence point of social and economic realities central not only to New York City but to all industrial cities and suburbs. A meticulously researched historical account based on primary documents, <i>Divided We Stand</i> is a contemporary indictment of the prevailing urban order in the spirit of Jane Jacobs's mid-century classic <i>The Death and Life of Great American Cities</i>.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Eric Darton</b> is the author of the critically acclaimed novel <i>Free City</i>, a cofounder of Yomama Art in New York City, and a former contributing editor of <i>Conjunctions</i>. He teaches media, technology, and cultural studies at Hunter College in New York City.
