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
Richard Rogers is the chair of the Urban Task Force. He is the prize-winning architect of the Pompidou Centre, Paris, the Lloyds Building and the Millennium Dome, London. He is a passionate advocate of beautiful cities as economic powerhouses, centres of invention, creativity and social integration.
