The Gated City by Ryan Avent
The book explores the economic and social implications of urbanization, focusing on how restrictive housing policies and zoning laws in major cities contribute to inequality and hinder economic growth. It argues that these regulations create barriers to entry, limiting access to high-opportunity areas and exacerbating income disparities. By examining the relationship between urban development and economic productivity, the book advocates for policy reforms that encourage more inclusive and dynamic urban environments, ultimately suggesting that more open and flexible cities could drive innovation and prosperity.
