Humanize : a maker's guide to designing our cities
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references.

"Our world is losing its humanity. Too many companies care more about their shareholders than their employees or customers. Too many politicians care more about elections than the people who vote for them. And too many cities feel soulless and depressing, designed for business, not for us. So where do we find hope? From one of the world's most imaginative designers comes a story about humanity told through the lens of our buildings. Though most of us sense that there is something seriously wrong with our cities, Thomas Heatherwick reveals just how bad it is. He offers us a fiercely passionate analysis of why we're surrounded by cheap, boring buildings that make people sick and unhappy, and how we can make them better for everyone."--Back cover.
