01 The Monocle Guide to Building Better Cities (Gestalten, 2018)

Since its inception in 2007, British publisher Monocle has, through its annual Quality of Life ranking of cities, the radio show and myriad guidebooks, covered cities and urbanism in many guises.

It begins with a manifesto, offering such advice as “fight for diversity” and “channel your inner Jane Jacobs.”
