{"product_id":"9780063483880","title":"The Way We Live Next","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA sweeping account of one of the most consequential changes in modern life: how digital technology is unbundling work and life from the old constraints of place—and how we can build better cities, communities, and lives in the world that comes next.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere should we live? Where should we work? Where should we raise our children, care for our families, find community, and build a life? For most of history, those questions were bound together. People lived where they worked, and communities formed around the farms, factories, ports, offices, and downtowns that organized economic life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt rare moments, those foundations are upended. The Agricultural Revolution bound human life to land and kinship. The Industrial Revolution reorganized it around factories, cities, and wage work. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is happening now runs deeper still—and is far less understood. Digital technology, remote work, AI, and new forms of mobility are untying work and life from the old constraints of place. But the future is not placeless. Place does not disappear; it becomes more important—more chosen, more contested, and more unequal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA New Economic Map is emerging—taking shape around powerful global hubs and rising satellites, reinvented downtowns and comeback cities, linked by flows of talent, capital, ideas, and work. It opens enormous freedom even as it concentrates advantage and deepens divides, as wealth, talent, and power gather in some places while others risk being left behind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Way We Live Next,\u003c\/i\u003e Richard Florida, Vladislav Boutenko, and Suresh Subudhi map this new geography of possibility: not just where we live, but how we live, how communities thrive, and who gets to shape the future ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe need new frameworks to navigate a world that is changing daily. \u003ci\u003eThe Way We Live Next\u003c\/i\u003e provides ta vision for what’s coming: a better future that is well within our reach, if we have the foresight and the courage to shape and govern it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere the authors offer their collective insights into:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Future of Work:\u003c\/b\u003e When people don’t have to stay in one place for employment, the world opens up.
