Visit Link : https://site.bookcenterapp.com/YUMPU/0520381122 Book Synopsis : Hella Town reveals the profound impact of transportation improvements, systemic racism, and regional competition on Oakland&#8217s built environment. &nbsp Often overshadowed by San Francisco, its larger and more glamorous twin, Oakland has a fascinating history of its own. From serving as a major transportation hub to forging a dynamic manufacturing sector, by the mid-twentieth century Oakland had become the urban center of the East Bay. Hella Town focuses on how political deals, economic schemes, and technological innovations fueled this emergence but also seeded the city&#8217s postwar struggles. &nbsp Toward the turn of the millennium, as immigration from Latin America and East Asia increased, Oakland became one of the most diverse cities in the country. The city still grapples with the consequences of uneven class- and race-based development-amid-disruption. How do past decisions about where to locate highways or public transit, urban renewal districts or civic venues, parks or shopping centers, influence how Oaklanders live today? A history of Oakland&#8217s buildings and landscapes, its booms and its busts, provides insight into its current conditions: an influx of new residents and businesses, skyrocketing housing costs, and a lingering chasm between the haves and have-nots.

Hella Town reveals the profound impact of transportation improvements, systemic racism, and regional

competition on Oakland&#8217sbuilt environment. &nbspOften overshadowed by San Francisco, its

larger and more glamorous twin, Oakland has a fascinating history of its own. From serving as a major

increased, Oakland became one of the most diverse cities in the country. The city still grapples with the

about where to locate highways or public transit, urban renewal districts or civic venues, parks or

shopping centers, influence how Oaklanders live today? A history of Oakland&#8217sbuildings and

and businesses, skyrocketing housing costs, and a lingering chasm between the haves and have-nots.
