Oh he does talk about women's empowerment but instead makes it sound like women are selfish and children's needs are unimportant. First, he says there aren't enough kids to care for grandparents. Now he says there aren't enough adults to care for kids.

Overemphasizes women's roles in child-rearing but also fails to link the empowerment of women and wealth with birth stats, and he makes fallacious links between housing density and city affordability, population growth, and employment opportunities. I really appreciate the amount of examples, but the logic is often fallacious. Great discussion book, but the author's opinions are poorly supported.

Very biased. Overemphasizes women's roles in child-rearing, and he makes really odd statements about the role of housing density in affordability, population growth, and employment opportunities. I really appreciate the amount of examples, but the logic is often fallacious. Great discussion book, but the author's opinions are poorly supported.

Lots of citations but very little insight.

Seems very male. The first chapter should be named, "let's grow and only families are people" and not "what is a city for"
