Krátky popis
One of the Financial Times' Best Economics Books of 2023Visionary
Oxford professor Ian Goldin and The Economist's Tom Lee-Devlin show
why the city is where the battles of inequality, social division,
pandemics and climate change must be faced. From centres of
antiquity like Athens or Rome to modern metropolises like New York
or Shanghai, cities throughout history have been the engines of
human progress and the epicentres of our greatest achievements.
Now, for the first time, more than half of humanity lives in
cities, a share that continues to rise.In the developing world,
cities are growing at a rate never seen before. In this book,
Professor Goldin and Tom Lee-Devlin show why making our societies
fairer, more cohesive and sustainable must start with our cities.
Globalization and technological change have concentrated wealth
into a small number of booming metropolises, leaving many smaller
cities and towns behind and feeding populist resentment.Yet even
within seemingly thriving cities like London or San Francisco, the
gap between the haves and have-nots continues to widen and our
retreat into online worlds tears away at our social fabric.
Meanwhile, pandemics and climate change pose existential threats to
our increasingly urban world. Professor Goldin and Tom Lee-Devlin
combine the lessons of history with a deep understanding of the
challenges confronting our world today to show why cities are at a
crossroads – and hold our destinies in the balance.
