Survival of the city : living and thriving in an age of isolation  Cover Image Book Book

Survival of the city : living and thriving in an age of isolation / Edward Glaeser and David Cutler.

Summary:

During the global COVID crisis, cities grew silent as normal forms of socializing ground to a halt. City life will survive but individual cities face terrible risks, argue Edward Glaeser and David Cutler. Great cities have always demanded great management, and our current crisis has exposed fearful gaps in our capacity for good governance. Glaeser and Cutler argue that deep inequities in health care and education are a particular blight on the future of our cities; solving them will be the difference between our collective good health and a downward spiral to a much darker place.
