Description
Order without Design: How Markets Shape Cities
Alain Bertaud argues that applying economic principles to urban planning can improve city productivity and citizen welfare. By examining five decades of experience in forty cities worldwide, he shows how markets drive urban development and how infrastructure design complements market forces.
Bertaud critiques land use regulations that aim to redesign existing cities without addressing underlying issues, instead advocating for a more nuanced approach that balances mobility, affordability, and economic efficiency.
