Cities Are Good For You by Leo Hollis
The Genius of the Metropolis
Combining urban history, public-health research and vivid case studies, this book argues that dense, mixed-use cities improve life expectancy, creativity and social resilience by enabling better access to services, stronger social networks and continual cultural exchange. It challenges the idea that urban living is inherently unhealthy and shows how investment in public transport, housing and public space can amplify cities' benefits while addressing inequality. The overall plea is pragmatic: design and govern metropolitan life to maximize wellbeing, opportunity and collective resilience.
