The author of this book, Edward Glazer, Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, professor of economics at Harvard University, and one of the leading economists of our time, grew up in Manhattan, and has long been obsessed with urban research and writing.
In The Triumph of the City, Professor Glazer takes the reader on a journey through human history, around the world, and connects the economy and history to show the advantages of the city's existence and the benefits it provides to humanity. Cities bring human beings closer together, make it easy to observe and learn, communicate and cooperate, and greatly promote the collision of ideas, cultural exchanges and scientific and technological innovation. Cities encourage entrepreneurship and bring unprecedented job opportunities to people, allowing social mobility and economic flexibility; The dense high-rise buildings, developed public transportation, and shortened spatial distances in the city have greatly reduced per capita carbon emissions, achieving the great goal of saving energy and protecting the environment. Clean water sources, good sewerage, and a sound medical system in cities maintain people's health and safety, and improve the overall quality of human life ......
At the same time, Glazer took specific cities as examples, carefully and deeply analyzed the problems existing in cities, the reasons for their decline, and the road to rejuvenation, and made wise and wonderful expositions on many urban issues such as "the advantages of slums", "the benefits of skyscrapers", "the rise of consumer cities", "the curse of nimbyism", "education determines democracy", and so on.
Finally, Glazer uses a unique form of reportage to tour Tokyo as the "City of Empire", Singapore and Gaborone as the "City of Order", Boston and Milan as the "City of Wisdom", Vancouver as the "City of Consumption", and Atlanta and Bangal......ore as the "City of Rise".While giving readers a glimpse of the city's glorious achievements, it also hints at the future development direction of some cities.
Despite the abundance of statistics and statistics in the book, it is by no means obscure to read, and Glazer's concise, powerful, witty and bold exposition is sure to blow the reader's mind!

It alleviated the feudal exploitation of the landlords, improved the material life of the peasants, increased the enthusiasm of the peasants in resisting Japan and production, and was conducive to uniting the landlords to unite against Japan.

As far as the drama Attack on Titan is concerned, I would like to summarize five points: 1. People who are content with the status quo and ignore potential dangers have only one way to die 2. 3. Sometimes taking risks is to eliminate dangers, that is, to pursue more lasting safety.
4. The cruelty of reality forces people to abandon their humanity in order to become a tool. 5. Sometimes you know that you will lose, but you must also rise up and resist.
Among them, my personal favorite, and I think the one that best fits the theme of the show, is the fourth. In the play Attack on Titan, it is true that the reality is extremely cruel, so people must fight and compete. This kind of competition is by no means the kind of sports competition that is peaceful and does not hurt each other.
If you put your perspective on the real world, then you are dealing with a lot of people from many backgrounds who may be far better than you in terms of personal ability. Perhaps this gap is even greater than the gap between humans and giants in the play.
It is not okay to be too satisfied with the status quo and live in the midst of many walls. It's a brutal world, and what we need to face is unequal competition. As an ordinary person under siege, they either settle in the narrow wall, and give up the vast world outside the wall to the uninteresting demented giant, and from time to time face the tragedy of the giant forcibly kicking the door.
Or, like the Survey Corps, they will rush out of the city gates over and over again, even if they continue to lose their stomachs, and fight against them to seize the vast world.
Learn about the fact that "the world is destined to be unequal", accept it, and keep sharpening yourself to be strong instead of feeling sorry for yourself. Because life is so cruel and powerless to change, it only depends on whether we can face it. It's me, not the world, that's wrong.

A cannibalistic society, human experiments for the sake of war.
-
Whether it is in the giants or in reality, this is a society where the law of the jungle eats the strong, and the rules of the game of survival of the fittest remain the same.
-
It makes sense to say that mapping the real world is also a world where people eat people.
-
Probably because of the mutual encroachment of resources, the law of the jungle.
-
Human experiments for the sake of war.

It's very realistic, isn't our current world also a society of the jungle?

There is not much difference, mainly when I go to primary and secondary school, and the oilfield hukou can enjoy some oilfield benefits, but now there seems to be not much treatment to say.
China's hukou is inherently a discriminatory product of the distribution of welfare benefits, so you can understand it.

There was a difference between attending the field school before it was subsumed into the local area.
The local hukou on the oil field school needs to pay more
Now it doesn't make a difference.

In the 19th century, Charles Dickens, a famous British social realist, called the Western industrial city "Coketown" in his "Hard Times" - "It is a town of machines and towering chimneys, and the chimneys constantly spit smoke, forever entwined there, rolling and untied." It had a black canal, a purple river that smelled of foul-smelling dye, and a large pile of pushes and pushes, full of windows, rattling and shaking all day long, and the pistons of the steam engine rising and falling monotonously, like a mad and sad elephant, constantly flicking the elephant's head ......A century later, the American humanist urban theorist Lewis. In his book "The History of Urban Development", Mumford argues that every city in the Western world, to a greater or lesser extent, bears the imprint of the characteristics of the coke city. >>>More
Under normal circumstances, the tropospheric atmospheric air temperature decreases with altitude, while inversion is an abnormal phenomenon in which the temperature increases while the altitude increases. Therefore, the temperature inversion phenomenon must be lower than the temperature of the bottom layer. >>>More
