N2  - "Taking us on walks through cities like Paris, New York, Toronto, North Vancouver and Singapore, Mary Aoderstom examines how cities have changed ordinary citizens - in positive and negative ways. Making the city walkable again is crucial. The author looks to the future and suggests ways in which can recognize our lives and our cities." -- Couv. p. [4]
