Cities for a Small Planet Summary

Cities for a Small Planet by Lord Richard Rogers

'Perhaps Rogers is unaware of how this book is a potential classic, which may claim its own space in urban literature.' Vincenzo Ruggiero, Times Higher Education Supplement'As a roving scaremonger operating on a planetary scale, Rogers wields the statistics of ecological doom, warns us of our precariousness and galvanises us to greater ingenuity.' Andrew Saint, London Review of Books
