A Blue-Collar Legacy – for Better and for Worse
From: Shift Change
$4.90
This chapter examines the dual nature of Hamilton, and poses key questions about the city. Can history be the basis for a roadmap forward? Are there unique aspects of Hamilton’s past that can help it avoid the worst aspects of gentrification that sullied other post-industrial landscapes? What sort of entrenched characteristics are best left behind? What kinds of dreams stand a good chance of taking root in the local soil?
