The Uses of Disorder by Richard Sennett

Reissue of the classic text on how cities should be planned
His argument remains powerful and relevant, an inspiration to a new generation of urbanists-- P D Smith * Guardian *
The best available contemporary defence of anarchism . . . The issues [he] raises are fundamental and profound. His book is utopian in the best sense?it tries to define a radically different future and to show that it could be constructed from the materials at hand * New York Times *
Richard Sennett's journey through urban chaos feels as fresh as when it was published in 1970. It argues that the city's vitality is bound up in its unpredictability. -- Gabriella Bennett * The Times *
Richard Sennett is one of the world's most highly distintguished urban thinkers and planners. His previous books include The Fall of Public Man, Flesh and Stone and Respect, as well as the recent Homo Faber trilogy, The Craftsman, Together, Building and Dwellings.
