520 ^aAs cities have gentrified, educated urbanites have come toprize what they regard as ^"authentic^" urban life: aging buildings, art galleries, small boutiques, upscale food markets, neighborhood old-timers, funky ethnic restaurants,and old, family-owned shops. These signify a place^'s authenticity, in contrast to the bland standardization of the suburbs and exurbs. But as Sharon Zukin shows in NakedCity , the rapid and pervasive demand for authenticity--evident in escalating real estate prices, expensive stores,and closely monitored urban streetscapes--has helped driveout the very people who first lent a neighborhood its authentic aura: immigrants, the working class, and artists. Zukin traces this economic and social evolution in six archetypal New York areas--Williamsburg, Harlem, the East Village, Union Square, Red Hook, and the city^'s community gardens--and travels to both the city^'s first IKEA store and the World Trade Center site. She shows thatfor followers of Jane Jacobs, this transformation is a perversion of what was supposed to happen. Indeed, Naked City is a sobering update of Jacobs^' legendary 1962 book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities
