Mayne, Lohrmann and an advisory panel of professionals and public figures have led a group of innovative architecture and urban design graduate students toward understanding what culture is today. The objective is to identify and leverage existing networks, projects, events and initiatives that promote economic and ecological transformation as catalysts for addressing urban problems. This research program examines systems supporting art, culture, education, media and production and how they stimulate reactivation and recovery of the America city. The project originally focused on eight midsized cities: Flint, Mich.; Atlantic City, NJ; Mobile, Ala.; Cleveland and Toledo, Ohio; New Orleans, La.; Tucson, Ariz. and Merced, Calif. This, the first volume of "Culture Now," presents impressive visuals that translate abstract statistical data into accessible graphics, helping readers understand the current economic situation.
