SUMMARY:Building and Dwelling: Ethics for the City
DESCRIPTION:Building and Dwelling is the definitive statement on cities
  by the renowned public intellectual Richard Sennett. In thi
 s sweeping work\, he traces the anguished relation between ho
 w cities are built and how people live in them\, from ancient
  Athens to twenty-first-century Shanghai. He shows how Paris
 \, Barcelona\, and New York City assumed their modern forms\; r
 ethinks the reputations of Jane Jacobs\, Lewis Mumford\, and o
 thers\; and takes us on a tour of emblematic contemporary loc
 ations\, from the backstreets of Medellín\, Colombia\, to the 
 Google headquarters in Manhattan. Through it all\, he laments
  that the "closed city"—segregated\, regimented\, and contro
 lled—has spread from the global North to the exploding urb
 an agglomerations of the global South. As an alternative\, he
  argues for the "open city\," where citizens actively hash ou
 t their differences and planners experiment with urban forms
  that make it easier for residents to cope. Rich with argume
 nts that speak directly to our moment—a time when more hum
 ans live in urban spaces than ever before—Building and Dwe
 lling draws on Sennett’s deep learning and intimate engag
 ement with city life to form a bold and original vision for 
 the future of cities.
