On how to become a better city
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
If you are looking for a check list or the do's and don'ts on how to become a better city, this book is not for you. In a way Landry is more of an urban psychiatrist who's challenging cities and their inhabitants to make up their own minds on how to become a better urban society. The book is chock full of examples, stories and insights on the matter (hence the size) which a well informed Landry uses to picture the bigger and positive image without being pushy about anything, although the 'being creative' gets a bit repeative after a while. All in all the book is an easy to read and feel good story about cities that want or should want to be a good city.
