Age of the City: Why Our Future Will Be Won or Lost Together
Age of the City: Why Our Future Will Be Won or Lost Together

Cities: epicenters of progress or inequality.

If you're drawn to urbanism and its impact on society, "Age of the City" should resonate with you. It unpacks how cities amplify humanity’s best and worst traits, addressing modern challenges like inequality, social division, and environmental threats. The book not only details the problems but also posits that the solutions to global issues begin at the urban core. For anyone interested in the future of cities and how they shape our world, this book is a timely and insightful read.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
