## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fun informative light hopeful
  

*by D***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 4, 2016*

This book was an easy read . The author did a fine job of touching on a multitude of topics related to today's modern cities. It's written for the layman so specialists will  probably quibble. I live in a city and this book opened my eyes a bit. I would have liked to have heard more about how metro sumps are emptied and there was a chapter that seemed rushed but all in all I enjoyed it and would recommend it to most anyone open to science.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Love infrastructure
  

*by L***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 15, 2020*

This is sort of a culmination of readings on infrastructure including roads, the grid, and water supply. It did not disappoint!

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not enough reality
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 14, 2016*

I was disappointed the book didn't get down to the nitty gritty as to how the city functions;it  just seemed to be listing items in a superficial way and talking about future gee whiz things that are vaguely "in the works". I guess a book that dealt with a specific city would have been better for me because my curiosity about the topic stems from an impression that some cities are on the verge of transportation gridlock and I thought possibly less visibly also reaching gridlock in terms of other services and I was curious how these problems could be solved given the limitations in the real world rather just theoretically in terms of physical laws.
