With the shift in the primary role of U.S. cities from production sites to consumption spaces after World War II, these magazines facilitated the branding of consumer-oriented urban imaginaries. Using New York Magazine, Atlanta Magazine, and Los Angeles Magazine as examples, the author shows how these "branded cities" changed over time, discursively reflecting and contributing to the socioeconomic restructuring of their namesake cities and the formation of a new urban middle-class niche market. - Reproduced Social history Urban areas Urban development Urban Affairs Review 47332 47332 47332 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 36, Issue no: 2 AR47760 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
