A Burglar's Guide to the City offers an unexpected perspective on the built environment. By studying architecture from the point of view of someone hoping to break into it, Geoff Manaugh reveals how buildings transform and can be outwitted.

Through the eyes of a burglar, this book dissects the built environment from both sides of the law. With insights from experts in security, architecture, and law enforcement, A Burglar's Guide to the City provides real-life heist stories and practical tools for navigating the city's obstacles.

From padlocks to vaults, and from museum surveillance to high-rise apartments, this book provides a unique blueprint for understanding the city's layout and exploiting its weaknesses. With its blend of true crime stories and architectural analysis, A Burglar's Guide to the City is a fascinating read for anyone interested in urban planning and security.
