Description
Cities are the birthplaces of civilization and centres of culture, trade, and progress. As the world's population is projected to be 80% urban by 2050, metropolitan areas will face numerous challenges in the 21st century, including climate change, resource depletion, and social inequality. Jonathan F. P. Rose offers a five-pronged model for designing and reshaping cities with the goal of equalizing their landscape of opportunity. Drawing on his interdisciplinary research and experience, he argues that well-tempered cities can be created by infusing systems that promote equality, resilience, adaptability, well-being, and harmony between civilization and nature. This book presents a reasoned and hopeful blueprint for a thriving metropolis - the future of urban life.
