About this Event
About the Book:
Cities like Los Angeles are in crisis. Chronic housing shortages are driving countless middle-class and working-class households out of high-opportunity areas. Homelessness is skyrocketing. Cars continue to rule city streets, poisoning the climate and putting everyone’s health and safety at risk. And city governments, instead of rising to meet the challenge, are increasingly dysfunctional and unaccountable. Build or Die traces the history of a disaster a century in the making, detailing how shortsighted and reactionary policy decisions led to the interlocking crisis that threatens America’s great cities.
Drawing on his experience at the forefront of the modern urbanist movement, Resnikoff makes the case for how cities can make that growth work for everyone by building more homes, investing in transit and walkable communities, and restoring democratic accountability to local government.
