An exploration of the development of cities from the beginning of civilization to the present, The Well-Tempered City reveals the conditions that gave rise to the happiest communities and the qualities that define them. In addressing serious questions about the problems threatening our urban centers, the book offers solutions for “balancing prosperity and well-being with efficiency and equality in ways that continually restore the city’s social and natural capital.”
