About this audiobook
When a quiet harbor town is suddenly transformed by ambitious redevelopment, the people of Port Kestrel find themselves caught between promise and uncertainty. Cranes rise over the skyline, investors pour in, and the future seems bright. But beneath the excitement, longtime residents begin to feel the ground shifting beneath their lives.
Daniel Afolayan, a third generation print shop owner, watches his city change faster than anyone expected. As new opportunities arrive, so do rising rents, dangerous work conditions, and a growing question that echoes through the streets: progress for whom?
Through workers, developers, activists, and ordinary citizens, The City That Could Not Decide explores the complicated reality of urban transformation. It is a human story about ambition
