Reissue of the classic text on how cities should be planned
Richard Sennett is one of the world's most highly distintguished urban thinkers and planners. His previous books include The Fall of Public Man, Flesh and Stone and Respect, as well as the recent Homo Faber trilogy, The Craftsman, Together, Building and Dwellings. For decades he has advised urban programmes for the United Nations. He has been awarded the Hegel and Spinoza prizes, as well as an honorary doctorate by Cambridge University.
His argument remains powerful and relevant, an inspiration to a new
generation of urbanists.
*Guardian*
The best available contemporary defence of anarchism . . . The
issues [he] raises are fundamental and profound. His book is
utopian in the best sense?it tries to define a radically different
future and to show that it could be constructed from the materials
at hand
*New York Times*
Richard Sennett's journey through urban chaos feels as fresh as
when it was published in 1970. It argues that the city's vitality
is bound up in its unpredictability.
*The Times*
