ArchitectureWeek Description
In this exploration of one of America's most successful new bohemias, Chicago's Wicker Park - Lloyd shows that bohemia's new status is a result of broader social and economic transformations. Cities like Chicago that are trying to shift from the industrial to the postindustrial era no longer rely on smokestack industries. Rather, they crave "creative" industries like media, tourism, advertising, and design, and hence have a newfound tolerance for nonconformists. Neo-Bohemia will interest anyone trying to understand the growing prominence of alternative culture in America, but on how cities are retooling to become players in the information age economy.
