We are living in one of the greatest periods of urbanisation in human history, with more cities in the world today than ever before. But is this definitely a positive thing? Are cities actually good for us? And what would the city of the future look like if we tried to make one that definitely was - would anyone want to live there?This book is about the fascinating and sometimes strange world of the people asking these questions - people trying to remake our cities from the literal ground up. It's the story of an attempt to get a hold of what the city of the future might look like according to some of the most influential and far-sighted people working to change it; to figure out when and how it was, exactly, that we all became convinced that city life was so bad for us. It's also a book about trees.
