This Must Be the Place: How Music Can Make Your City Better By Shain Shapiro Music has a profound impact on how cities are developed and governed. This book explores this relationship, examining how music can shape urban environments and communities. Through personal stories from around the world, including London, Melbourne, Nashville, Austin, and Zurich, Shapiro reveals the transformative role of artists and musicians in city-making.

This book offers a fresh perspective on the power of music in urban development, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of music, culture, and community.
