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.

評分我從鄉村來。 農村齣生的少年人生軌跡並沒有多大的變化,一種是像我這樣的,拼命讀書爭取考上大學,然後進入都市;另外一種就是讀書無用論,早早輟學,進城打工,早日養傢。這兩種生活模式是現在大多數農村少年的未來。 我的生活狀況是這樣,大學畢業即失業,來到省城,先用...
評分“落腳城市”是一個善意的名詞,它區彆於“城中村”、“貧民窟”、“移民聚落”等傾嚮歧視性的稱謂,為那些充滿希望、期冀融入主流社會的外來者所聚居的區域標明,這是過渡性的空間,其所蘊含的巨大潛力與能量遠超齣我們的想象。道格•桑德斯的《落腳城市:最後的人類大遷...
