Book Description
American cities have experienced a remarkable surge in convention center development over the
last two decades, with exhibit hall space growing from 40 million square feet in 1990 to 70
million in 2011—an increase of almost 75 percent. Proponents of these projects promised new
jobs, new private development, and new tax revenues. Yet even as cities from Boston and
Orlando to Phoenix and Seattle have invested in more convention center space, the return on that
investment has proven limited and elusive. Why, then, do cities keep building them? Written by
one of the nation's foremost urban development experts, Convention Center Follies exposes the
forces behind convention center development and the revolution in local government finance that
has privileged convention centers over alternative public investments. Through wide-ranging
examples from cities across the country as well as in-depth case studies of Chicago, Atlanta, and
St. Louis, Heywood T. Sanders examines the genesis of center projects, the dealmaking, and the
circular logic of convention center development. Using a robust set of archival
resources—including internal minutes of business consultants and the personal papers of big city
mayors—Sanders offers a systematic analysis of the consultant forecasts and promises that have
sustained center development and the ways those forecasts have been manipulated and proven
false. This record reveals that business leaders sought not community-wide economic benefit or
growth but, rather, to reshape land values and development opportunities in the downtown core. A
probing look at a so-called economic panacea, Convention Center Follies dissects the inner
workings of America's convention center boom and provides valuable lessons in urban
government, local business growth, and civic redevelopment.
