David Harvey's essay "A View From Federal Hill," which originally appeared in The Baltimore Book and was later reprinted in Spaces of Capital, is one of the most influential texts to address the corporate redevelopment of Baltimore's Inner Harbor, and a model for reading the political economy of a city's skyline, especially where, as in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, a tourist-focused policy of capital accumulation through public financing was the order of the day.
17 years after it's initial publication, we've asked David Harvey to revisit his seminal text in the context of Baltimore's continuing process of gentrification, the economic crisis, and the efforts launching this spring to secure economic justice and work with dignity in the Inner Harbor.
This event will, *weather permitting*, take place on Federal Hill itself.
We'll move it indoors to 2640 if we have to.

Re: A View From Federal Hill, Revisited
I can say that this really has the most beautiful place to see. Yet, as the Baltimore Book describes our economy, it is really on depressed economy. Obama's critics are a growing number, especially because we haven't heard hide or hair of a job creation plan since he took office. A job creation plan was something that our sitting President pledged during his campaign, and thus far, he has created no jobs to speak of, except for the cronies of the vicious cabal of Wall Street goons he put in his cabinet. There was talk of 3.5 million jobs, none of which have materialized – other presidents knew what a Public Works project was, and apparently Obama, who went to Harvard no less, apparently didn't get that memo. There still isn't a concrete job creation plan, and a lot of people still need debt relief.
