Riassunto

What does being an urban center for a large geographical region do to the communal identity of a city such as Spokane? How does the relative youth of the city relate to the sense of place in geography, but also in time? These are some of the issues addressed in David Wang's marvelous anthology, the first book of its kind to view the western mid-size regional city as a complex and unique phenomenon. Its in-depth discussions of neighborhood, geography, architectural themes and gambits, parks, urban renewal and preservation, and other aspects of a city's composition, enact a portraiture with implications far beyond Spokane itself. Anyone interested in the fate of regional cities in the West will want to read this book.
