Survival of the City

By Edward Glaeser ’88 and David Cutler

Published Dec. 16, 2021

Glaeser and Cutler bring their expertise in urbanism and health to unpack the changing landscape of cities during the pandemic. While they believe city life will survive, they argue that the global health crisis has brought many to a crossroads that could result in a mass movement out of cities. Survival of the City (Penguin Press) also examines the gaps in resources, education, and governance that have only become more obvious during this time.
