Fernand Braudel identified their three functions, providing security, shelter and markets.
Ideologists like Ebenezer Howard (garden cities) and Le Corbusier (monumental redevelopment) suggested how cities should work.
Jane Jacobs showed how they actually work.
Civilizing Cities expands considerably from these foundations in three parts: past, present and future.
To improve cities, we need to replace 'normative' and 'market-led' planning ideologies.
