> “This book is a love story of cities. It is so well observed -- the places, the people, the history and what the future holds. Joe tells a very personal and beautifully written story direct from the front line. An absolute must read for everyone who cares about, and wants to understand, what makes cities and their citizens tick.”  _– Dame Alison Nimmo, Chief Executive of the Crown Estate_

[Joe Berridge](http://www.urbanstrategies.com/people/joe-berridge/), of Urban Strategies, has a new book coming out called, _Perfect City: An Urban Fixer's Global Search for Magic in the Modern Metropolis_. Perfect may be the enemy of good (as they say), but Joe argues that all great cities have moments of perfection that we can learn from. I just preordered a copy. If you're interested, you can [do the same here](https://www.amazon.com/Perfect-City-Fixers-Global-Metropolis/dp/1999439511).
