It argues that Jacobs' insight that \"a city cannot be a work of art\" underlies her ideas on planning and economic development and social cooperation, and offers new theoretical, historical, and policy analyses of cities that are more realistic and coherent than standard accounts by either economists or urbanists. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 400 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 October 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Springer Verlag, Singapore\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis comprehensive open-access book explores the profound connection between Jane Jacobs' renowned urban analysis and her insightful ideas on economics and social theory. While Jacobs is widely celebrated as a legendary figure in urbanism, her theoretical contributions, although fundamental to her critiques and proposals for public policy, often go unnoticed even among her ardent admirers. This book aims to rectify that oversight by highlighting the underlying principle that \"a city cannot be a work of art\" informs both her planning principles and her understanding of economic development and social cooperation. By demonstrating how the theory of market processes and Jacobs' theory of urban processes complement each other, this book offers a fresh and insightful perspective that bridges the gap between economists and urbanists. It provides a novel theoretical framework, historical analysis, and policy recommendations for cities, offering a more realistic and coherent understanding of urban phenomena than standard accounts from either discipline. Through this interdisciplinary approach, readers will gain a deeper appreciation of the complex dynamics that shape cities and the potential for collaborative solutions to urban challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 683g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9789819953615\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2024\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sanford Ikeda","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44744597799162,"sku":"9789819953615","price":37.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1699034447873_book.jpg?v=1699397410","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/a-city-cannot-be-a-work-of-art-learning-economics-and-social-theory-from-jane-jacobs-9789819953615","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
