QUESTION: What are the best books on cities and city-building published since 2013? Explain your answer. It’ll help update the “best 100 city-making books” list below that I published that year. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #UrbanismBookClub, to make the books easily findable forever! (in theory)
On the occasion of Elon Musk pretending that he reads books, I thought I’d reshare my “100 Best Books On City-Making Ever Written” article in @planetizen.bsky.social. It’s 12 years old and needs updating, and got plently of debate back then, but I’d still recommend most of these. #UrbanismBookClub

Dan Sullivan and his friends are so upset about having Jack Smith see their phone number lists they turned it into a grift and a way to potentially conceal their crimes. Does this deflect from their relationship to the J6 insurrection?
🚨 💰 WOW — @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn snuck a provision into the spending bill that would let them sue the government for $500,000 because Jack Smith looked into their phone records around Trump’s insurrection.

You don’t have to ban cars everywhere to transform your city centre. But you do have to seriously rethink and redefine the car’s role. There are many ways to do that, from #completestreets to #sharedstreets, pedestrian priority streets & Dutch #woonerfs, that prioritize streets for people, not cars.
