Edward Glaeser: Triumph of the City

Edward Glaeser is an urban economist and bestselling author of Triumph of the City.  A proponent of high density city living, Glaeser's insight into the rise and fall of cities, from Boston to the Rust Belt, offers an amazingly well written look at cities and their historical/economic importance.  In his interview with The Economist, Glaeser compares Detroit in the early 1900's to today's Silicon Valley.  For anyone even curious about how cities work or why Detroit struggles while Bangalore flourishes, read Glaeser's masterpiece, Triumph of the City.
