Summary

Ever since its launch in 2007， Monocle has been passionate about improving our cities。 Each year it compiles a Quality of Life Survey， which names the top 25 cities to call home， and across the issues it has inter- viewed the most productive mayors， looked at the metropolises putting pedestrians first， and met the people making room for parks， both pocket-sized and plush。 In this impor- tant new book the magazine's editors unpack what makes a great city and how to fix one that's flagging。 How do you fashion your own High Line， create the most covetable housing， or transform a grimy river into a glistening asset？ Beautifully shot and illustrated， this is a book that takes the urbanism debate away from city hall and explains what's needed in ways that will inspire us all。
