"Big Apple. Big Orange. The similarities and dissimilarities, functions and dysfunctions, of New York and Los Angeles subsume and define the promise and uncertainties of the American urban future. With a fresh perspective, at once informed and questioning, confident and troubled, urbanists examine the achievements and challenges faced by the two dominant metro-regions of the nation. Who had it right, Woody Allen or the Terminator?"-Kevin Starr, University of Southern California
