Emergent urban forms, or emergent post-modernisms? A comparison of large U.S. metropolitan areas

Article Abstract:

Universalization of landscape complexity that lies at the core of post-modern urbanism is challenged by examining landscape changes in 10 largest metropolitan areas in the US. The key findings are that landscape complexity vis the mid-20th century is overstated and that the unyielding focus on difference deflects attention away from important processes like inner-city revalorization, inner-suburban devalorization that are reshaping very different cities in largely similar ways.
