What are your favorite audio books about #UrbanEconomics, #LiveableCities, or #LandUsePolicy?

Utterly pathetic. Landlords raising rents and killing small local biz in inner suburbs of #Toronto. What is #Roncy BIA and city councillors, mayor, #ecdev Dept doing ? I hate that these hoods are taken over by fast food chains because they can afford it or these hoods are left bare. #TOCouncil #topoli #urbaneconomics #recession

Time to do a self-introduction here I suppose. I do #housing policy and research, with a focus on #london but interested in #cities everywhere. I like #geography, #economics (especially #urbaneconomics) and #maps. And I use  a lot.
