In a field over-saturated with research on global cities and megacities, this is the first academic book to analyze specifically small cities and regions in New England. Focusing on the dynamic urban/global legacy of Hartford, Connecticut, the volume is bolstered by comparative chapters on Portland, Maine, Lawrence, Massachusetts and Springfield, Massachusetts. The book contains contributions from sociologists, anthropologists, historians, political scientists, politicians, grassroots leaders, and urban/regional planners.
