While in Berlin, Margaret Weir will be completing her book The New Metropolis: Political Power and Spatial Inequality in Twenty-First Century America. With a focus on Chicago, Atlanta, and Houston, it examines the political conflicts that have defined new patterns of exclusion and opportunity in the American metropolis over the past three decades. It investigates the two key movements driving these politics—one that erects new barriers to opportunity and another that presses for a more connected and expansive public domain.
