I've plugged and cited Fogelson's _Downtown: Its Rise and Fall, 1880-1950_
often, since I view it as essential to understanding the decline of the cores
in U.S. cities (and it may have some lessons for those in other nations as
well).
I've written a somewhat fawning review of the book at
http://larryfeltonjohnson.typepad.com/atlantalarry/2004/07/fogelsons_downt.html
If we are going to put forward policies which have the effect of
ensuring the vitality of our cores in the long run, we have to have a
good grasp of what made them decline to begin with, and have some clear
ideas on the role of the core in the future of our cities.
