¿Cómo deberían ser las ciudades del futuro? ¿Cómo ha evolucionado su planificación a lo largo de la historia? ¿Cómo afecta a nuestra vida el entorno urbano en el que vivimos? ¿Qué valores urbanísticos se deberían potenciar? ¿Qué lastres se deberían desterrar?Repensar la ciudad es el objetivo último de este libro, que hace un recorrido por su evolución partiendo de los dos ámbitos en los que trabaja el autor, el de la sociología y el del urbanismo, y tomando como base tanto reflexiones de arquitectos y urbanistas como de filósofos.Construir y habitar recorre la historia de las ciudades desde el ágora griega hasta las urbes del siglo XXI como Shanghái. Repasa las propuestas de los grandes innovadores de la planificación urbana en el siglo XIX -Haussmann y Cerdà-, la creación de la ciudad del siglo XX en Europa y Estados Unidos de la mano de arquitectos como Le Corbusier y su evolución en el XXI en países emergentes como China, India, Brasil, México o algunos africanos. Y aborda ejemplos concretos, que van del diseño de Central Park en Nueva York a la sede de Google, el Googleplex, pasando por las bibliotecas de Medellín, el desarrollo urbanístico de Delhi...Este libro cierra la trilogía del Homo faber de Richard Sennett, cuyas dos entregas anteriores, El artesano y Juntos, también están publicadas en esta colección. Son tres obras independientes, pero que, leídas en conjunto, proporcionan una de las reflexiones más lúcidas y estimulantes sobre la sociedad contemporánea.

Work Description

Making and Dwelling is the definitive statement on cities by the renowned public intellectual Richard Sennett. In this sweeping work, he traces the anguished relation between how cities are built and how people live in them, from ancient Athens to twenty-first-century Shanghai. He shows how Paris, Barcelona, and New York City assumed their modern forms; rethinks the reputations of Jane Jacobs, Lewis Mumford, and others; and takes us on a tour of emblematic contemporary locations, from the backstreets of Medellin, Colombia, to the Google headquarters in Manhattan. Through it all, he laments that the "closed city"--segregated, regimented, and controlled--has spread from the global North to the exploding urban agglomerations of the global South. As an alternative, he argues for the "open city," where citizens actively hash out their differences and planners experiment with urban forms that make it easier for residents to cope.
