Cities, an impossible equation

The 'impossible equation' is to reconcile economic competitiveness, social cohesion, environmental sustainability, democratic governments and citizen participation. Even admitting the supposed suitability of these concepts, which is especially questioned in the book as a whole and in its last part, this compatibility is impossible, however necessary it may be and no matter how much it is proclaimed. The book we present argues this impossibility. 368 p.: b/w, 23.5x15 cm., paperback
