This week on Smart City, we explore the stubborn link between race and
poverty in America.   My guest, professor Pedro Noguera, has written a
book about the cultural, societal and personal factors that cause
young black and Hispanic males to run afoul of middle-class American
norms. Professor Noguera joins us to discuss his book "The Trouble
with Black Boys."

And we'll have a discussion with Thomas Sevcik about how much work it
can take to change the way the world views a city.  Thomas is the
founder of the internationally acclaimed creative studio "Arthesia,"
and he'll tell us about the complicated issue of a city's identity and
how to find what he calls "the city's drama."
