Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A preeminent thinker redefines the meaning of city life and charts a way forwardBuilding and Dwelling is the definitive statement on cities by the renowned public intellectual Richard Sennett. In this sweeping work, he traces the anguished relation between how cities are built and how people live in them, from ancient Athens to twentyfirstcentury Shanghai. He shows how Paris, Barcelona, and New York City assumed their modern forms; rethinks the reputations of Jane Jacobs, Lewis Mumford, and others; and takes us on a tour of emblematic contemporary locations, from the backstreets of Medelln, Colombia, to the Google headquarters in Manhattan. Through it all, he laments that the closed citysegregated, regimented, and controlledhas spread from the global North to the exploding urban agglomerations of the global South. As an alternative, he argues for the open city, where citizens actively hash out their differences and planners experiment with urban forms that make it easier for residents to cope. Rich with arguments that speak directly to our momenta time when more humans live in urban spaces than ever beforeBuilding and Dwelling draws on Sennetts deep learning and intimate engagement with city life to form a bold and original vision for the future of cities.
