Synopsis

This book examines the challenges facing urban development, with a particular focus on the New York metropolitan area. Outlining the evolution of urban sprawl, the author contrasts the sprawling nature of modern cities with the more compact urban design of the past. The author endorses a return to planned urban centers, arguing that this approach fosters greater economic vitality, cultural opportunities, and social interaction while preserving green spaces and reducing reliance on cars. This book will appeal to urban planners, architects, and anyone interested in the future of cities.
