Synopsis
In a follow-up to THE GEOGRAPHY OF NOWHERE (1993), James Howard Kunstler again deplores the state of cities in America and elsewhere--cities that he sees as victims of poor planning, specifically urban sprawl and the tyranny of the automobile. Here he considers Paris, Atlanta, Mexico City, Berlin, Las Vegas, Rome, Boston, and London.

Industry Reviews
"Although Mr. Kunstler's descriptions of these cities are entertaining to read and studded with trenchant observations, his love of hyperbole undermines his credibility and italicizes the biases animating this book....By far the most persuasive and most compelling chapters in this book deal with cities that Mr. Kunstler admires--or at least has hopes for."
New York Times - Michiko Kakutani (02/22/2002)
"[E]xcitable, funny, sometimes high-handed....[H]is praise...is ultimately less effective than his criticism."
New Yorker (02/18/2002)
