Market Urbanism

Market Urbanism is a theory calling for free-market solutions to urban problems. Rooted in classical liberalism, it posits that cities work best through the bottom-up, private sector activity of many individuals, not top-down government plans. In this nifty guide, Scott Beyer describes how these free-market ideas can apply to housing, transport and public administration. The book's goal is to portray a vision where cities are better-run, more affordable, and easier to get around in under a Market Urbanist model.
