“I’m not going to beat around the bush. This book is about evil.” “It’s about the mundane, humdrum, self-assured, self-justifying, pocket-lining, smug & arrogant lies & disinformation that communications ‘professionals’ spread daily.” Read #DarkPR by @[email protected]. #UrbanismBookClub

Tonight’s #UrbanismBookClub entry is one I’ve wanted to share for a while — “Building For People: Designing Livable, Affordable, Low-Carbon Communities” by @[email protected], foreword by @[email protected]. Excellent guidebook for global eco-districts with great visuals & case studies. 10/

Attention #UrbanismBookClub lovers! My friend @[email protected]’s really important new book “Black Public Joy” is out there for purchasing! Congratulations Jay! I encourage everyone seeing this to check the book out and help spread the word. It frankly couldn’t be more timely. #BlackPublicJoy

This book is potentially one of the most important to come out for better cities in a long time, so of course its in the #UrbanismBookClub — “Killed By A Traffic Engineer: Shattering The Delusion That Science Underlies Our Transportation System,” by @[email protected] @[email protected]. 9/

I’m VERY happy that @[email protected] has written “If You Want To Win, You Have To Fight: A Guide To Effective Transportation Advocacy,” because books on how to actually change things are TOO RARE. I admit though that I haven’t had a chance to read it yet — have others? #UrbanismBookClub 7/

READ THIS: Still probably the best #ChristmasEve tradition I’ve heard. Iceland definitely does Christmas well — my Reykjavik clients had funny comments about this! Are you planning to curl up with a great new book on cities this #Christmas? Share your pick with us using hashtag #UrbanismBookClub!
