书籍简介

城市对我们不利：污染、嘈杂而且根本不自然。 我们需要绿色空间，而不是混凝土。 树木，而不是塔楼。 争论也是如此。 但这是真的吗？ 如果我们试图从头开始建设更美好的生活，未来的城市会是什么样子？ 有人想住在那里吗？

在这里，德斯·菲茨杰拉德带领我们踏上一段紧迫而难忘的旅程，进入未来的城市生活，从亚利桑那沙漠中闪闪发光的大厦到威尔士深处的森林沐浴，从迷宫中的老鼠到对周围环境影响的神经科学研究。 在此过程中，他揭示了当今绿色城市运动的深层且经常引起争议的根源，并提出了庆祝我们城市本来面目的论据——在它们喧闹的、人工建造的和人造的荣耀中。

Cities are bad for us: polluted, noisy and fundamentally unnatural. We need green space, not concrete. Trees, not tower blocks. So goes the argument. But is it true? What would the city of the future look like if we tried to build a better life from the ground up? And would anyone want to live there?

Here, Des Fitzgerald takes us on an urgent, unforgettable journey into the future of urban life, from shimmering edifices in the Arizona desert to forest-bathing in deep Wales, and from rats in mazes to neuroscientific studies of the effects of our surroundings. Along the way, he reveals the deep-lying and often controversial roots of today's green city movement, and offers an argument for celebrating our cities as they are - in all their raucous, constructed and artificial glory.
