Our global economic system demands growth at all costs–but that imperative is causing the cities that support it to fall apart, author Ashley Dawson argues in his new book, Extreme Cities. The capitalist engine runs on immediate gratification. Returns are measured quarterly; impact is expected immediately. We see this in cities across the globe: Luxury high-rises spring up seemingly overnight, backed by developers deepening their pockets, and encouraged by governments anxious for tax revenue.
