Summary:"Ferguson, Missouri, became the epicenter of America's racial tensions after the 2014 murder of Michael Brown and the protests that followed...In over one hundred maps, Patty Heyda charts the systemic forced that have defined Ferguson, and the first-ring suburb in America more broadly. Through an in-depth look at the contradictions undergirding city planning and design, this book illuminates how tax incentives, housing codes, urban design, nonprofits, philanthropy, and even landscaping often work against the betterment of residents' lives. At its heart lies a key question: Just who are our cities being built for?"--P. [4] of cover.
