Relatively interesting, albeit cursory, article in the Times about the rises and falls of development in New York City. The fate of New York as the United States cedes its empire grows more interesting by the day. Anybody have any recommendations for articles on the rise and fall of great cultural capitals? I think that a cross-disciplinary (ethnographic, financial, political, architectural) study that both analyzed and brought to life the relative rise and fall of great cities through time would be fascinating.
