Abstract
Alexander Garvin is an adjunct professor at the Yale School of Architecture, with an impressive urban planning record including serving as planning director for New York City’s 2012 Olympic Games bid, working on Atlanta’s greenbelt park system (the Atlanta BeltLine), and publishing several successful books including The American City: What Works, What Doesn’t and The Planning Game: Lessons for Great Cities. His newest work, What Makes a City Great follows the formula of his first books, drawing from his rich firsthand experiences and utilising his personal photography skills. In it, Garvin gives his answer to the perennial question of what makes a city great. What is it that draws people to Paris, London, and New York?
