Hella Town
Author: Mitchell Schwarzer
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520391535
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
Hella Town reveals the profound impact of transportation improvements, systemic racism, and regional competition on Oakland’s built environment. Often overshadowed by San Francisco, its larger and more glamorous twin, Oakland has a fascinating history of its own. From serving as a major transportation hub to forging a dynamic manufacturing sector, by the mid-twentieth century Oakland had become the urban center of the East Bay. Hella Town focuses on how political deals, economic schemes, and technological innovations fueled this emergence but also seeded the city’s postwar struggles. Toward the turn of the millennium, as immigration from Latin America and East Asia increased, Oakland became one of the most diverse cities in the country. The city still grapples with the consequences of uneven class- and race-based development-amid-disruption. How do past decisions about where to locate highways or public transit, urban renewal districts or civic venues, parks or shopping centers, influence how Oaklanders live today? A history of Oakland’s buildings and landscapes, its booms and its busts, provides insight into its current conditions: an influx of new residents and businesses, skyrocketing housing costs, and a lingering chasm between the haves and have-nots.

Guide to East Bay Creeks
Author: Christopher M. Richard
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781882140107
Category : Alameda County (Calif.)
Languages : en
Pages : 47
Book Description
This guide is a call to action. Blending ecology, history, geography, aesthetics and recreation, it reminds us what we have forgotten--that creeks shaped this land and provided it with rich abundance. Decades of carelessness and outright abuse have depoiled our streams, many of which are now virtually buried by civilization. But there is hope that a growing awareness of their intrinsic value will inspire us to preserve what is left and restore what is lost. This book is a companion to a series of creek maps of the San Francisco Bay Area.
