HOLLOW CITY. The Siege of San Francisco and the Crisis of American Urbanism
London: Haymarket, 2000. First edition. hardcover. This copy is signed by both Rebecca Solnit (text) and Susan Schwartzenberg (photographer). This book critically examines how the tech boom transformed San Francisco, leading to rapid gentrification, skyrocketing rents, and the displacement of artists, activists, and long-term residents. Illustrated with photographs by Susan Schwartzenberg, the book explores the loss of the city's cultural fabric, the homogenization of its architecture, and the broader consequences for American urban life, arguing that wealth can be as destructive as poverty in ravaging cities. A fine copy in black cloth over boards in a very good plus dust jacket. Item #15537
