What reading level is Happy City: Transforming Our Lives Through Urban Design book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is hard to pinpoint the origin of this retreat. It may be because people in the dispersed city have invested so heavily in private comfort that they feel insulated from the problems of the rest of the world. It may be that sprawl has attracted people who are naturally less interested in engaging with the world, socially or politically. These are both possible, but evidence suggests that the spatial landscape matters. Sociologists point out that the suburbs have done an efficient job of sortin...g people into communities where they will be surrounded by people of the same socioeconomic status. Meanwhile, the architectures of sprawl inhibit political activity that requires face-to-face interaction. It is not that sprawl makes political activity impossible, but by privatizing gathering space and dispersing human activity, sprawl makes political gathering less likely. Where would you go for a demonstration? Malls and power centers reserve the right to remove unruly patrons, even in the seemingly public concourses and parking areas between stores.
