Routledge - Between Bohemia and Suburbia: Boburbia in the USA

Explore the emergence of a new urban phenomenon with Between Bohemia and Suburbia: Boburbia in the USA (Questioning Cities). This Routledge publication identifies a rising trend in American living: the dense, walkable, mixed-use bourgeois-bohemian suburb, or the "boburb." Through detailed case studies focused on Louisville, Kentucky, this book examines how these unique neighborhoods develop and function. The research is built upon scores of interviews with college graduates, supported by survey data and Census figures to provide a clear historical account of these spaces. Readers will find a deep analysis of the Highlands neighborhood compared to other Louisville boburbs. The text provides important context by contrasting these areas with ephemeral bohemian quarters and traditional suburban environments. This book is an essential resource for those studying urban development, sociology, and the changing landscape of American cities.
