A pioneering urban economist presents a myth-shattering look at the majesty and greatness of cities. America is an urban nation, yet cities get a bad rap: they're dirty, poor, unhealthy, environmentally unfriendly . . . or are they? In this revelatory book, Edward Glaeser, a leading urban economist, declares that cities are actually the healthiest, greenest, and richest (in both cultural and economic terms) places to live. He travels through history and around the globe to reveal the hidden workings of cities and how they bring out the best in humankind. Using intrepid reportage, keen analysis, and cogent argument, Glaeser makes an urgent, eloquent case for the city's importance and splendor, offering inspiring proof that the city is humanity's greatest creation and our best hope for the future.
Edward Glaeser is the Fred and Eleanor Glimp Professor of Economics at Harvard University. He studies the economics of cities, housing, segregation, obesity, crime, innovation, and other subjects, and writes about many of these issues for Economix. He serves as the director of the Taubman Center for State and Local Government and the Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston. He is also a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1992.

评分Glaeser的文笔啊!刷新我对城市的认识!BTW, 扉页上"To Nancy/For All the Days"让人飙泪!
其实这本书去年四月回harvard时,就在coop买好了。眨眼间放在书柜都快一年了,眼见中文版在国内如火如荼,业内人士纷纷引为圣经,我才想起来看。 个人对glasaer的期待是,用城市经济学的视角来描述城市的现象,凡事能有个理由,而非简单现象的罗列。这本书最初的两章还是很有...
评分当下,全球有一半的人生活在城市之中。在发展中国家,每个月有5百万人从乡下移民到城市之中。 作者认为,城市是人类最伟大的发明。cities “our species’ greatest invention”。 作者罗列了城市的好处: 在城市聚集的影响下,聪明的人互相触碰; 专业...
评分这本书的标题,以及其英文副标题"How our greatest invention makes us richer,smarter,greener,healthier and happier",毫不含糊地表明了作者的立场。对于一个在城市问题上受Lewis Mumford启蒙且深受其害的读者来说,对这样的观点自然不敢苟同。同时作为一个学经济学的人,我...
评分偶然的一次机会拿到这本书,两周的时间断断续续读完,文字翻译得不枯燥,有一点报告性质的文笔,字里行间流露出作者毕生的经历思考,对于城市的发展,书中列举了很多世界城市成功的历程,如新加坡、巴黎;也有发展没落的城市,如美国的底特律。再次想到那句话,以史为鉴,可以...
