In The Imperfect City: Design, Serendipity, and the Real Life of Cities, Paul Goldberger takes readers on an exhilarating journey around the world, exploring how modern cities thrive when urban planning leaves room for happy accidents and innovations. With stories of bold planners and architects who utilize random, often haphazard elements, Goldberger shows that the joy of urban experience comes from embracing cities’ energy, beauty, and unpredictability. Illustrated with lively stories and leadership concepts from the last 20 years of his career, What Could Possibly Go Right? The Essential Journey to Scale an Enduring Culture, by über-restaurateur and author Danny Meyer, offers an insightful, practical, and transformative roadmap for success. Businesses and organizations have long understood how to scale production – doing so to uplift human relationships is much trickier.
