Another very interesting addition to the genre: https://www.amazon.com/Architect-Prosperity-John-Cowperthwaite-Making/dp/1907994696 …. Cowperthwaite hailed from Edinburgh and held Adam Smith in high regard. Had opportunity to apply ideas in Hong Kong.

Triumph of the City is a great addition to that collection https://www.amazon.com/dp/0143120549/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_IGVgAb04W9K42 …
