forpeterssake reviewed Survival of the City by Edward L. Glaeser
A weaker and myopic sequel
3 stars
Not a bad book per se, but myopically focused through the lens of the Covid-19 pandemic during which it was written. The sections on education, training, and policing hold up, but they were pushed to the side in favor of analysis of pandemics, some of which is already out of date. I wish it was written just a couple years later, I think the perspective of the future of cities would have been greater.
