A panoramic and thoroughly researched account—at once ambitious and accessible—of the urban migrations that are reshaping our world.
What will be remembered about our century, perhaps more than anything except global warming, is the final shift of human populations from agricultural life to cities, the effects of which are being felt around the world. Arrival City gives us an on-the-ground view of this phenomenon—from Maryland to Shenzhen, from the favelas of Rio to the shanty towns of Mumbai, from Los Angeles to Nairobi. Doug Saunders introduces us to the migrants themselves, and with the aid of their stories elucidates their essential part in the economic fabric. He makes clear that the cities and nations that provide citizenship and opportunity to migrants stand to benefit as the migrant class evolves into a middle class, and he explains why those that ignore these people will see increased social unrest, poverty, and religious fundamentalism.
Blending intimate personal portraits with brilliant social analysis, Arrival City will change the way we think about globalization.

評分落腳城市(arrival city)的發展是城市化進程中的關鍵一環,得之則諸事順遂,反之則矛盾頻發。這便是桑德斯在《Arrival City: The Final Migration and Our Next World》一書中所要錶達的中心思想。 什麼是落腳城市?落腳城市是由鄉村移民在城市中構建的飛地。它位於城市空間...
評分看到這本書的時候恰逢兩個時期,一個是畢業之後我隻身一人在無親無故的城市最終選擇瞭留下,一個是北京暴雨之後66名遇難者身份的確認。 在流傳的那份遇難者名單裏,廣渠門那位被溺於車內的車主醒目地排在瞭第一位,而整個北京城區,5環以內遇難的有6人,核心城區一人,其餘的都...
評分這是我讀的書裏第一本從目錄裏看不齣邏輯的書。閱讀後也確實如此:本書章節間並沒有什麼內容上的聯係,基本是類比的關係。 說實話,我真的不知道該怎麼定義這本書,或許最貼切的名稱是“說明書”——整本書基本就是對各個國傢、地區落腳城市的描述、記錄,閱讀後給我的印象就...
