A description of a city that had been welcoming to immigrants and refugees but failing to integrate them partners with Welcome Tinder to pair citizens and immigrants. The relationship apparently begins successfully and then is followed for five years and it spreads across the country at the same time that more and more problems emerge. All the stories in the book are responses to a recent book, A New City O/S: The Power of Open, Collaborative, and Distributed Government (Washington, DC: Brookings Institution Press, 2017), by Stephen Goldsmith and Neil Kleiman, that proposes, in the editors’ interpretation, that cities should act more like Amazon in dealing with their citizens.
