Was wondering what urbanism-related books people might have read or heard about. I’ve personally read Walkable City by Jeff Speck, which I found enjoyable and informative. I’ve also heard of the books written by Charles Marohn (Confessions of a Recovering Engineer and Strong Towns). What others are notable?

You can read Walkable City for free here: http://www.petkovstudio.com/bg/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Walkable-City.pdf , though it’s missing anniversary edition content. Don’t be scared by the page count, it’s only actually like 200.

    I liked all three of those books. Others that I’ve read recently and enjoyed are Road to Nowhere: What Silicon Valley Gets Wrong about the Future of Transportation by Paris Marx and The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America by Richard Rothstein.

    I’m a huge fan of There Are No Accidents by Jessie Singer. It really changed my perspective on blame and prevention in society “Not Just Car (Crashes)”.
