Sumario:"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.

Why, then, do cities keep building them?"--Publishers website.
