Big ideas: The city

David Edmonds discovers five big ideas that could change the way we think about cities.

In this second of three omnibus editions of The Big Idea, David Edmonds looks at some of the latest research on cities. Drawing on the ideas of five leading thinkers, we ask whether violent or non-violent is more successful, why humans find cities appealing, the links between culture and whether people follow the rules, and how we might go about tackling rogue cops.
