"""Drawing on the theoretical concepts of assemblages and socio-natures, David Gissen uses a number of important case studies to reflect transformations in New York City’s urban environment, focusing squarely on shifts in power during the city’s post-industrial context. By mixing architecture with geography, his keen eye makes a convincing, innovative argument about the importance of ‘maintenance.’"" —Julie Sze, author of Noxious New York: The Racial Politics of Urban Health and Environmental Justice"
