@peterme @notjustbikes @fuckcars Planet of Cities was good:

https://www.lincolninst.edu/publications/books/planet-cities

It’s been a while since I read it, but I seem to recall it dramatically leveling up my understanding of what cities were for, and therefor how to think about planning 5rm.

I also recommend Four Lost Cities:

More history than planning, but you learn a lot about people through these old dead cities.
