520    If you live in a city-and every year, more and more 
       Americans do-you've seen firsthand how gentrification has 
       transformed our surroundings, altering the way cities look,
       feel, cost, and even smell. Over the last few years, 
       journalists, policymakers, critics, and historians have 
       all tried to explain just what it is that happens when new
       money and new residents flow into established 
       neighborhoods, yet we've had very little access to the 
       human side of the gentrification phenomenon. The Edge 
       Becomes the Center captures the stories of the many kinds 
       of people-brokers, buyers, sellers, renters, landlords, 
       artists, contractors, politicians, and everyone in between
       -who are shaping and being shaped by the new New York 
       City. In this extraordinary oral history, DW Gibson takes 
       gentrification out of the op-ed columns and textbooks and 
       brings it to life, showing us what urban change looks and 
       feels like by exposing us to the voices of the people 
       living through it. Drawing on the plainspoken, casually 
       authoritative tradition of Jane Jacobs and Studs Terkel, 
       The Edge Becomes the Center is an inviting and essential 
       portrait of the way we live now.
