Abstract: *Where We Want to Live: Reclaiming Infrastructure for a New Generation of Cities* redefines urban infrastructure as a key to creating more livable, equitable, and sustainable cities. Using examples like New York, it examines how infrastructure shapes cultural identity, health, economy, and civic life. The book reviews past development’s successes and failures, challenges assumptions about sprawl, and advocates for adaptable growth. Highlighting chapters like “Infra-Culture” and “Catalyst Infrastructure,” it presents infrastructure not just as physical systems but as foundations for prosperity, equity, and community, offering a visionary, hopeful approach to the future of cities.
