Description
The Case for Cities by Vikas Mehta, Danilo Palazzo, Conrad Kickert, Christopher Auffrey and Terry Grundy presents a compelling argument for the importance of cities in addressing social, environmental, economic, and public health challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic and civil unrest highlighted the need for advocates to make a strong case for cities as places where solutions to these problems can be found. The book explores the creative tension between two great values on which city vigor depends: "Cities of Choice" and "Cities of Justice". By promoting both, contributors argue that viable, sustainable urban resurgence is possible. This timely work draws on expertise from academia, practice, and civic sectors to provide a nuanced understanding of cities' role in addressing pressing issues. Of interest to students and practitioners in urban planning, design, architecture, landscape architecture, and those advocating for city development, The Case for Cities offers valuable insights into the symbiotic relationship between these two values.
