Palaces for the People: How Social Infrastructure Can Help Fight Inequality, Polarization, and the Decline of Civic Life by Eric Klinenberg

informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

3.5

This book is a good introduction to the importance of infrastructure that serves to unite communities and the great holistic health benefits this provides people. It gets a bit slow and repetitive through the middle. There's really only one point that's presented in the introduction, with the remainder supplying numerous examples of communities that have suffered and benefited from the types of infrastructure he talks about (mostly libraries). I didn't need to be convinced! I was just hoping for a bit more depth on the subject.
