A panoramic and thoroughly researched account—at once ambitious and accessible—of the urban migrations that are reshaping our world.
What will be remembered about our century, perhaps more than anything except global warming, is the final shift of human populations from agricultural life to cities, the effects of which are being felt around the world. Arrival City gives us an on-the-ground view of this phenomenon—from Maryland to Shenzhen, from the favelas of Rio to the shanty towns of Mumbai, from Los Angeles to Nairobi. Doug Saunders introduces us to the migrants themselves, and with the aid of their stories elucidates their essential part in the economic fabric. He makes clear that the cities and nations that provide citizenship and opportunity to migrants stand to benefit as the migrant class evolves into a middle class, and he explains why those that ignore these people will see increased social unrest, poverty, and religious fundamentalism.
Blending intimate personal portraits with brilliant social analysis, Arrival City will change the way we think about globalization.

評分看到这本书的时候恰逢两个时期,一个是毕业之后我只身一人在无亲无故的城市最终选择了留下,一个是北京暴雨之后66名遇难者身份的确认。 在流传的那份遇难者名单里,广渠门那位被溺于车内的车主醒目地排在了第一位,而整个北京城区,5环以内遇难的有6人,核心城区一人,其余的都...
評分我是从农村出来的孩子。 其实已经记不清有多少次以这样熟悉的句子开头一篇文字。只是想提醒自己不要忘记自己来自何方,家乡在哪里。但是这种提醒,同时又是一种很无力的表达。从某种意义上来说,正是因为这种强调,预示着我已经远离了自己的家乡,隔膜着自己的邻人。每年回家的...

評分人类社会似乎进入了一个经济高速发展的时期,传统的乡村自给自足经济已经无法满足人类的物质需求,很多地区的发展模式与英国史上“第二次圈地运动”有相似之处,由小农经济向农场经济转变,现代化农业方式带来的劳动力剩余,贫困地区的人口外出寻找生机,带来了大规模的劳...
