Written in the aftermath of the 1968 student uprising in the US and Europe, it demands a reimagination of the city and how class, city life and identity combine. Too often, this leads to divisions, such as the middle-class flight to the suburbs, leaving the inner cities in desperate straits. In response, Sennett offers an alternative image of a “dense, disorderly, overwhelming cities” that allow for change and the development of community. Fifty years later this book is as essential as it was when it first came out and remains an inspiration to architects, planners and urban thinkers everywhere.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"edition-single--book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished by Verso\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e224 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e130 x 200 mm \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e9781839764080\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42176274268374,"sku":"TUODRS","price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/products\/Screenshot2021-12-09at17.01.44.png?v=1639069318","url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/no\/products\/the-uses-of-disorder-personal-identity-and-city-life-richard-sennett","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
