Isabel | In the City
‘What makes a city great? This question keeps me up at night. Joel Kotkin proves by traveling through history how successful cities were the ones that assured security, opportunity and sacredness (cohesion). Also, he makes me think critically on challenges faced by cities right now. Therefore, a must read.’
Pascalle | Happy City
‘Staying at home all the time is difficult. Luckily, ‘Happy City’ provides some distraction by taking you on a journey through various cities and their urban projects across the globe. And don’t worry: all while staying isolated on your own couch.’
Happy City – Charles Montgomery
Annemiek | The book without words
‘ ✨ ‘
Het zonder woorden-boek – Lilian Stolk
Gwenda | City on Fire
‘City on Fire. The only reason I bought this book is, off course, the name. Actually it’s a gift for our Rinske, because the book has her last name and it’s all about one of her favourite cities NYC. Hopefully soon, I’ll find some time to read those 1000+ pages. After that the book is all yours Rinske.’
Stad in Brand – Garth Risk Hallberg
Thomas | The power of habit
‘How does daily structure translate to our current situation. Can we use this time to break old habits and start fresh? Is there a healthy work life balance at home? These questions let me to the book habits from Charles Duhigg. He explains that radical changes are a great time to build new habits, and teaches you how to sustain them!’
The power of habit – Charles Duhigg
