Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic work advocating ecological urban planning—from a civic visionary and former architecture critic for the New Yorker. Considered among the greatest works of Lewis Mumford—a prolific historian, sociologist, philosopher of technology, and longtime architecture critic for the New Yorker—The Culture of Cities is a call for communal action to “rebuild the urban world on a sounder human foundation.” First published in 1938, this radical investigation into the human environment is based on firsthand surveys of North American and European locales, as well as extensive historical and technological research. Mumford takes readers from the compact, worker-friendly streets of medieval hamlets to the symmetrical neoclassical avenues of Renaissance cities. He studies the squalor of nineteenth-century factory towns and speculates on the fate of the booming twentieth-century Megalopolis—whose impossible scale, Mumford believes, can only lead to its collapse into a “Nekropolis,” a monstrosity of living death. A civic visionary, Mumford is credited with some of the earliest proposals for ecological urban planning and the appropriate use of technology to create balanced living environments. In the final chapters of The Culture of Cities, he outlines possible paths toward utopian future cities that could be free of the stressors of the Megalopolis, in sync with the rhythms of daily life, powered by clean energy, integrated with agricultural regions, and full of honest and comfortable housing for the working class. The principles set forth by these visions, once applied to Nazi-occupied Europe’s razed cities, are still relevant today as technological advances and overpopulation change the nature of urban life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Supercity: A Planned Physical Equipment for City Life An acquaintance with the world's fund of modern technical information and some knowledge of affairs leave one impressed with the large extent to which this highly serviceable body of information remains unused because of the lack of some proper machinery, or organization, through which it may function and render to humanity the great service it is capable of achieving. The planned city here presented, in response to this important need, represents an attempt to harness this large and useful fund of knowledge and put it to work to the end that part of the world's work may be accomplished in a more efficient manner, and that the more genial, courageous and energetic side of human nature may have a better opportunity for success both in ourselves and in this world of ours. It is with pleasure that I acknowledge the assistance rendered by Messrs. I. Q. Lord and W. H. Middleswart, Miss Alice Berliner and Mrs. Jeanette Kern toward preparing the manuscript and the proofs. It may also be mentioned that Mr. Charles Geschickter assisted me in preparing a previous manuscript which, however, proved to be quite too inadequate, and therefore had to be laid aside.
