Abstract

The natural beauty of Austin, Texas, has always been central to the city's identity. In telling Austin's story, Andrew M. Busch invites readers to consider the wider implications of environmentally friendly urban development. By demonstrating how the city's midcentury modernisation sustained racial oppression, restriction, and uneven development, Busch reveals the darker ramifications of Austin's green growth.

Abstract

"Austin, Texas is generally depicted as one of the great urban success stories of the past half century--a place that has grown enormously through 'creative class' strategies that emphasize diversity and environmental consciousness. Eliot Tretter's book reinterprets this familiar story by exploring the racial and environmental underpinnings of the postindustrial knowledge economy. He is particularly attentive to the role of the University of Texas (often working with federal, municipal, and private-sector partners), and the book will join a growing critical literature about how universities shape urban environments"--Provided by publisher.
