Book Description:

Cities provide for people, not just functionally in terms of jobs, obligations and practical pursuits, but also, and above all, emotionally. We like some cities and detest others. This book argues that people are and remain social animals, who like and need one another's company in their economic, socio-cultural, and political activities.
