The sole intention of this book is to uncover the common traits shared by all vibrant cities and how every city can make use of this knowledge to become a better urban place. This book isn’t based on abstract theories, but instead, from observing, analyzing, and exploring cities and what really makes them work.

Help Me Re-Define Urban
Many of the ideas in this book are the opposite of the conventional wisdom about cities. Above all else, this book is meant to incite change. I want to change the way you think about your city and how you define success for your community. Ultimately, I want to redefine the word “urban” by breaking down the 10 traits that make up the essence of vibrant urban places.
