Main Street: How a City's Heart Connects Us All

Mindy Thompson Fullilove explores the role of city centers in bringing communities together, revealing how they can help us address our problems. After an 11-year study of Main Streets in cities and countries worldwide, she highlights the importance of community resilience in the face of crises.

Fullilove examines how disinvestment in inner-city neighborhoods has led to the decline of Main Streets across the US, weakening cities and leaving them vulnerable. She offers a different perspective on urban renewal programs and the history of forced displacements that have impacted inner-city communities.
