About the Author
Shlomo Angel is a visionary urbanist and professor emeritus of city planning at Princeton University, where he has dedicated his career to rethinking the future of urban development on a global scale. With a background in architecture and extensive fieldwork across continents, Angel challenges conventional wisdom on urban growth, advocating for policies that accommodate rather than constrain the organic expansion of cities. His seminal work, 'Planet of Cities,' published in 2012, argues that the world's urban population will double by 2050, necessitating a paradigm shift in how we plan for sprawling metropolises. Drawing from decades of research and data from over 3,000 cities, Angel's insights have influenced policymakers, architects, and scholars worldwide, promoting sustainable, inclusive urbanism that embraces density and resilience in the face of rapid globalization.
