The new book is called Survival of the City: Living and Thriving in an Age of Isolation, so it's about urbanism, it's about the pandemic, it's about healthcare economics and much more.

The best things said about it
Your re most recent book is Survival of the City and Before That Triumph of the City. Both of those I highly recommend to readers.
Now you cited research in the survival of the city which said that firms like Microsoft were much less willing to hire new people once they went online because of the pandemic.
Now turning to your book with ed which again is survival of the city just coming out putting aside anti-covert measures which we're all familiar with but how can cities be made less contagious for disease in america.

Why people recommend it
Survival of the City by Edward L. Glaeser and David Cutler is an urban economics book that investigates the vulnerabilities exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and offers strategies for how cities can rebuild, overcome isolation, and continue to thrive as centers of innovation and human connection. The book was discussed extensively across several interview podcasts, including the Dwarkesh Podcast and Conversations with Tyler, as well as referenced on People I (Mostly) Admire. Dwarkesh Patel recommended both Survival of the City and its predecessor Triumph of the City to his listeners, later citing Glaeser's research on remote work and corporate hiring trends during the pandemic. Tyler Cowen hosted Edward Glaeser and David Cutler to explore topics such as urbanism, public health economics, historical city placements, and how to make modern cities less susceptible to disease contagion. Steve Levitt also mentioned the book when talking with Glaeser about the challenges urban centers face in a changing world. Together, these hosts used the text to anchor broader discussions about the future of metropolitan life and public policy.
