As of this decade, more than half the earth’s population
lives in cities; our world is not just globalized, but
urbanized. This powerful reappraisal draws on two decades of
fieldwork and research to show how the metropolis has become
a medium for revolutionary social change. Not just political
upheaval but technological, economic, and cultural
innovations are forged in our urban centers. From Chicago to
Mumbai, in every corner of the world, the city is now a
laboratory for revolution, brewing potential solutions to
poverty, inequality, and sustainability. Bridging urban
studies, economics, and sociology, Jeb Brugmann’s Welcome to
the Urban Revolution turns traditional urbanism on its head,
and offers an inspiring new way of understanding our cities.
