Recenzii
A fresh, clear-eyed and timely analysis of the challenges and opportunities that comes from one of the most important themes of the 21st century - the rise of urbanisation and the fact that more people live in cities than at any time in human history.
Age of the City takes us on an absorbing journey through the relationships connecting civilization, progress, and the city.
Age of the City is the book we need now. Ian Goldin and Tom Lee-Devlin take aim at those who believe the age of our great cities is over. They marshal powerful and much needed evidence to show that cities are becoming even more important to our economy and society. Their book illuminates the ongoing ability of cities to preserve and thrive in the face of all manner of adversity, as platforms to harness and unleash the human creativity which stands as the engine of human progress. Their book is essential reading for political and business leaders and each and every one of us who cares about and wishes to help create a better collective future.
A sweeping survey of the history and modern challenges facing cities that will persuade you that they are the key to a happier and more sustainable future together.
Ian Goldin and Tom Lee-Devlin have written a compelling volume explaining why cities will survive and thrive despite the twin threats of remote work and pandemic. This book vividly explains how cities are engines of cooperation, which fundamentally enable us to become more human. Using a compelling combination of history and data, the authors remind us that life is better lived in urban streets and cafes than in Zoom waiting rooms. This is an important read for anyone who cares about cities.
A compelling, holistic and well-balanced narrative on the critical role of cities in an age of global warming - full of insights based on hard data. From cover to cover, a great read. Full of positive ideas for the future, and grounded in vital lessons from the past. The authors link together many disparate subjects into one integrated whole - bringing alive history, planning, infrastructure, pandemics, urbanism, deprivation, industrialisation, fertility, wars, governance and more - all in support of the city.
Age of the City provides a startlingly fresh and compellingly readable account of the forces that have defined our past and will shape our future. An essential and enjoyable guide for all our lives.
A sharp and lively urbanist manifesto.the chapters on pandemics and the rise of remote work sound a fresh and timely note.
An insightful analysis.
This fascinating book explains the challenges [cities] pose and what needs to be done to make them work better for all their inhabitants.
