I was lucky enough to win an ARC of this book on Goodreads, and I plan to share this perspective-rocking book with everyone I know. Montgomery is an eloquent, passionate, approachable writer with a clear and incredibly well-researched vision of the ways in which our cities can serve us and in which we can in turn serve our cities. He explores the mental, physical, social, and emotional benefits and tolls taken by the places where we live and work, and our path to getting there every day, and presents convincing arguments for how we can create positive change in our cities and beyond. This book is eye-opening, terrifying, and empowering. Ironically, I read it on my commute to work (public transit taker here!) and savored every moment that I spent with Montgomery and his Happy City. I cannot recommend it enough and hope that it will inspire others as it's inspired me!
