Abstract: *Living in the Endless City* explores the challenges and opportunities of urbanization, with over 75% of the global population expected to live in cities by 2050. A follow-up to *The Endless City*, the book draws on insights from conferences by the London School of Economics and Deutsche Bank’s Alfred Herrhausen Society. Focusing on Mumbai, São Paulo, Istanbul, and New York City, it combines essays from global scholars, striking photography, and data-driven analysis to provide a comprehensive view of the evolving urban landscape. The book examines key issues like economic growth, inequality, sustainability, and cultural diversity in today’s cities.
