Summary:

"The Aretian team, a spin off company from the Harvard Innovation Lab, has developed a city science methodology to evaluate the relationship between city form and urban performance. This book illuminates the relationship between a city's spatial design and the quality of life it affords the general population. It evaluates metropolitan regions and municipalities around the world and compares them with one another to identify city form patterns and their impact on urban performance with respect to their ability to satisfy a series of urban performance quality standards, focusing on the knowledge economy and distributed prosperity."-- Back cover
