A pioneering urban economist presents a myth-shattering look at the majesty and greatness of cities. America is an urban nation, yet cities get a bad rap: they're dirty, poor, unhealthy, environmentally unfriendly . . . or are they? In this revelatory book, Edward Glaeser, a leading urban economist, declares that cities are actually the healthiest, greenest, and richest (in both cultural and economic terms) places to live. He travels through history and around the globe to reveal the hidden workings of cities and how they bring out the best in humankind. Using intrepid reportage, keen analysis, and cogent argument, Glaeser makes an urgent, eloquent case for the city's importance and splendor, offering inspiring proof that the city is humanity's greatest creation and our best hope for the future.

評分一本論述城市發展的書,或說是鼓吹城市擴大發展的論述。其內容核心價值其實是節能環保 ~【若你熱愛自然,就離自然遠一點】,其次是城市較有利於知識密集而能激發創意,帶來發展。 這本書讓我想起去年有一本【落腳城市】的書,其藉由描述世界各大都市貧民區的故事,來推論貧民...
