A new publication takes a different look at the future of cities and suburbs.
Two recent Yale graduates have founded a new magazine, The Next American City. The quarterly publication aims to start a challenging and controversial dialogue about the shape of urban and suburban America in the decades to come... The youthfulness of the duo at the top of the magazine's masthead -- a characteristic of contributors to the first issue as well -- is one thing that separates The Next American City from more-established urban-oriented publications like the Manhattan Institute's City Journal or the Urban Land Institute's Urban Land." The magazine can be found online at: http://www.americancity.org/
