When you think of cities, what comes to mind? Is it the high cost of living, traffic congestion, or air pollution? This book navigates through human history to dispel the misconceptions about urban life. Using specific cities as examples, it demonstrates the strengths of growing cities and analyzes the problems they face in their pursuit for development.
Edward Glaeser is a Professor of Economics at Harvard University, and an advocate of the New Urbanism. His work focuses on cities, housing, obesity, crime, innovation, and more from the perspective of an economist; he has written extensively about urban topics for The New York Times. To accurately present the accounts in this book, Glaeser had visited many global cities to study the lives of residents as well as the economic, social, and environmental developments of these cities in great detail.
