Jeb Brugmann draws on more than twenty years of experience working at the cutting edge of international urban issues to show how the city is now a medium for revolutionary change. He how they are becoming laboratories for solving the major challenges of the 21st century: poverty, inequality and environmental sustainability. He includes Australian cities in his book, from understanding how the different designs of two Melbourne suburbs directly affect the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere to Sydney's struggle as a 'Great Opportunities City' - a place that has everything going for it but chronically fails to become what it could be.
