A new book for 21st Century Slow Cities!

The book lays out how speed came to have such a dominant impact on the way we plan, design and operate cities, even though the supposed advantages of speed are largely illusory when carefully assessed.
The authors explain that instead of providing advantages, speed can steal our time, our money and our health and they outline policies, strategies, tactics and behavioural interventions that can be employed to create healthier ‘slow cities’.  The final chapter presents a ‘Manifesto for 21st Century Slow Cities’ and an afterword establishing the critical relevance of such cities in a world transformed by the COVID-19 crisis.
