The "Don't Build a City from Scratch" book?
-
Hahahaha. Not looking to literally build from scratch so much as reverse engineer what works to understand principles... then optimize and modify

You don’t love great cities because they’re optimised. Optimised for what - cars ? White males? The well off ?

Check out Richard Sennett’s latest book. Just out - it’s all about cities and is a fantastic read. It might help you
