Reviews
The pleasure in Mr. Brook's unusual history is in his descriptions of the creation of these cities. The deeper message, though, is about the tensions such cities create., Whatever the futures of these four cities hold, Brook cautions that progress and growth need more than construction projects and infrastructure., An intimate, canny comparative study . . . . Accessible, entertaining. . . . Enormously elucidating and relevant., Excellent...A History of Future Cities succeeds not by claiming a false comprehensiveness but by plunging into the chaos and productive confusions of the past., 'Instant cities' like Shenzhen, China, may seem like twenty-first-century twins of 'disposable cities' like rust-belt Camden, New Jersey. But in this probing new book that is at once both charming and reflective, Daniel Brook tells the story of urban hybrids conceived to fuse Western cosmopolitanism and local culture. His close but never pedantic reading of these metropolises puts the city back at the center of our vision, reminding us that in new and old towns alike, the urban amalgam of creativity, diversity, and mobility offers a key that not only unlocks the past but also opens the door to our future., The pleasure in Mr. Brook's unusual history is in his descriptionsof the creation of these cities. The deeper message,though, is about the tensions such cities create., Penetrating...[Brook] sketches a portrait of a place that is not just a city, but an idea, and a dream.
