The new book features essays and profiles on architects, entrepreneurs, city planners, community leaders and visionaries from 53 different cities in 30 countries.

Whether it’s housing or pedestrian infrastructure, this book explores innovative ways of designing our shared home. The ideal city is yet to exist, but maybe it’s right around the corner.
