1. Explain the divergence between Chicago and Detroit according to Neal (pp. 6-9). What does Neal mean by network bases versus central places? What cities are successfully networked today (p. 14)?
2. Use Zukin’s article to make sense of the culture and symbols of downtown Flint or a town you’re familiar with.
3. Thinking about New Orleans, how did redevelopment post-Katrina relate to the “political-economy” perspective in urban development (from our readings the second week of class)? Be sure to use insights FROM class and our readings.
