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

4.0

thrilled to check this book out from my local public library ! also interesting to read in covid times, when the world is even more devoid of community and the ability to gather.

this book does an excellent job reinforcing what too few know: we are nothing without each other. in order to dismantle systems of oppression and mitigate climate disaster, it is essential to create and maintain public spaces with dignity and function, without the need for profit. i hope this can become something a blueprint for life moving forward.
