Urban economics is the study of how economic forces shape the development, growth, and functioning of cities. In today’s rapidly urbanizing world, understanding the dynamics of urban areas is crucial for policymakers, businesses, and residents alike. Cities are the engines of economic activity, often driving national economies through industrialization, technological advancement, and labor market opportunities. The field of urban economics provides a framework for analyzing the complex interactions between land use, housing markets, transportation, and labor, all of which influence the growth and prosperity of cities. One of the core ideas of urban economics is the concept of agglomeration, which refers to the concentration of people and businesses in a specific area to take advantage of economies of scale, reduced transportation costs, and access to a skilled workforce. This concentration leads to the formation of cities as hubs of economic activity, where services, manufacturing, and innovation thrive. However, agglomeration also brings challenges, such as congestion, pollution, and rising living costs. Urban economists seek to understand these trade-offs and develop policies that can foster economic growth while addressing the negative externalities associated with urbanization. Another fundamental aspect of urban economics is the relationship between urban form and economic performance. Cities are not static entities; they evolve over time as they expand, change in function, and adapt to shifting economic realities. The spatial structure of a city—how land is used, where different activities are located, and the connectivity between various areas—can significantly impact its economic performance. Urban economics explores how factors like zoning laws, infrastructure, and transportation systems influence a city’s efficiency, livability, and overall success.Show book

Leonard Cohen has aimed high: to be all Jewish heroes at once. Like Jacob, he struggled with angels. Like David, he sang psalms and seduced women. But he never ceased doing what he did best: going from city to city and reviving our hearts. Leonard Cohen: The Man Who Saw the Angels Fall follows the singer’s cosmopolitan life from Montreal and New York to the Greek island of Hydra and examines his perpetual dialogues with himself, God, and avalanches. We see how six decades of radiant pessimism and a few thousand nights in hotel rooms transformed a young Jewish poet who longed to be a saint into an existentialist troubadour in love with women and a gravelly-voiced crooner who taught a thousand ways of dissolving into love. After more than two decades of research and travels, Christophe Lebold, who befriended the poet and spent time with him in Los Angeles, delivers a stimulating analysis of Cohen’s life and art. Gracefully blending biography and essay, he interrogates the mission Cohen set out for himself: to show us that darkness is just the flip side of light.Show book
