Richard Sennett (Author)
The distinguished social critic Richard Sennett here shows how the excessively ordered community freezes adults–both the young idealists and their security-oriented parents–into rigid attitudes that stifle personal growth. He argues that the accepted ideal of order generates patterns of behavior among the urban middle classes that are stultifying, narrow, and violence-prone. And he proposes a functioning city that can incorporate anarchy, diversity, and creative disorder to bring into being adults who can openly respond to and deal with the challenges of life.
