Death and Life of Great American Cities, by Jane Jacobs. If you ever think about the design of your town or city or wonder why it's not safe to go out after dark in parts of your city, among many other things, it's applicable to you.

Reading Jacobs' most famous book, you're​ hit with this feeling that she possessed the perfect balance of humility and knowledge. That we still make the mistakes she described half a century ago is quite unfortunate, especially once you realize the we do and for a long time, have, known better.
