In every country around the world, cities are exciting places full of vibrant landmarks and diverse people all living together. But today’s cities also have problems: overcrowding, pollution, heavy traffic, and poverty. Luckily, cities are used to adapting, and they’re already coming up with new ways to modernize, making them attractive, welcoming, and pleasant places to live.

As a city-dweller of the future, dive into this book to discover clever new ideas and dream about the kind of city you’d like to live in. Who knows, maybe one day you’ll build it!

Reviews

“This thoroughly engaging, graphics-rich offering profiles eco-friendly developments in over 20 international urban settings. All examples are explained in accessible, interesting excerpts, but the illustrations steal the show . This fun adventure from France (a handful of American city features are represented, including Manhattan’s High Line and Detroit’s urban gardens) is sure to attract detail-oriented browsers.”
