Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid evolution of Charlotte, North Carolina, from “regional backwater” to globally ascendant city provides stark contrasts of then and now. Once a regional manufacturing and textile center, Charlotte stands today as one of the nation's premier banking and financial cores with interests reaching broadly into global markets. Once defined by its biracial and bicultural character, Charlotte is now an emerging immigrant gateway drawing newcomers from Latin America and across the globe. Once derided for its sleepy, nine-to-five “uptown,” Charlotte's center city has been wholly transformed by residential gentrification, corporate headquarters construction, and amenity-based redevelopment. And yet, despite its rapid transformation, Charlotte remains distinctively southern—globalizing, not yet global. This book brings together an interdisciplinary team of leading scholars and local experts to examine Charlotte from multiple angles. Their topics include the banking industry, gentrification, boosterism, architecture, city planning, transit, public schools, NASCAR, and the African American and Latino communities. United in the conviction that the experience of this Sunbelt city—center of the nation's fifth-largest metropolitan area—offers new insight into today's most pressing urban and suburban issues, the contributors to Charlotte, NC: The Global Evolution of a New South City ask what happens when the external forces of globalization combine with a city's internal dynamics to reshape the local structures, landscapes, and identities of a southern place.

Book excerpt: In the 1960's and 70's Charlotte, NC was statistically ranked higher than Detroit in per capita murders. The downtown area was not a place one ventured out alone at night and the activity occurring there was less than honorable. At this time though, there were big changes occurring nationally, particularly with the Nixon Administration and policies passed in 1973 that jump started Urban Renewal, with grants and financial aid given to cities deemed in need of assistance to rejuvenate and grow. These funds reached Charlotte at a time when the banking industry, also benefiting from new national legislature, was beginning to look towards growth and acquisition on a national scale. These banks began to invest interest in the look and use of Charlotte as they began to understand the importance of civic pride and location on their business. The combination of these two factors, the financial backing and the renewed civic enthusiasm, built the basis of the Charlotte we have today, a city internationally known, selected to host the Democratic National Convention in 2012. This paper will investigate the agents who orchestrated those changes, with a particular emphasis on banking, especially the role of Bank of America. Charlotte Observer newspaper articles, guidebook and map publications, and interviews with key individuals who are knowledgeable about Charlotte's history serve as the basis for the research data. The paper will discuss key thematic areas of Bank of America's impact on Charlotte's image. These themes include buildings that altered the skyline, attraction and construction of arts and culture venues, neighborhood revitalization in the downtown area, and sports franchises and facilities. This paper will argue that Bank of America was involved with nearly every aspect of the change of Charlotte's image towards the lively city it is today, known at national and global scales.
