Survival of the City
Buy on Amazon"So back in 2008, Ed, you wrote a book called Triumph of the City, and now, 13 years later, you've got a new book called Survival of the City."
Triumph of the City
Buy on Amazon"I wandered around before writing Triumph in Detroit for a while and the sort of eerily empty moonscape—there are just not any people."
Triumph of the City
Buy on Amazon"It sure feels like a conflict; it was very hard when I started working on Triumph 15 years ago. You remember that you've got to tell stories with narrative because we just purge it in our economic papers."
Survival of the City
Buy on Amazon"Something I was really struck by in Survival of the City was when it came time for you and your co-author David Cutler to offer your advice to policymakers on what we should be doing to build thriving cities. You emphasize that the solutions are complex, not simple, and almost no book says that because no policymaker wants to hear that the solutions are complex."
