How do we make better cities places that work for people of all ages and backgrounds? How do we make cities that provide the obvious essentials great transport, good places to work as well as the softer elements that truly deliver quality of life, from urban swimming pools to rooftop clubs? In this joyful new book the magazine's editors unpack what makes a great city, whether you're looking for a new place to call home or need help fixing your own. Discover how you too can have a High Line, create the most covetable housing or turn a dirty river into a summer asset. Packed with great images and intriguing reports, this is a book that takes the urbanism debate away from city hall and explains what's needed in ways that will inspire us all.
