| adam_text | This book will speak to the new human epoch, the urban age. For the first time a
majority of humanity now lives in cities. The city, the highest invention of the modern
age, is now the human heartland, and yet the same process that brought us the city
and its wonders, modernisation, has also thrown up challenges and threats, especially
climate change, resource depletion, social division and economic insecurity. This book
considers how these threats are encountered and countered in the urban age, focusing
on the issue of human knowledge and self-awareness, just as Hannah Arendt s influential
The Human Condition did half a century ago. The human condition is now the urban
condition, and it is this condition that will define human prospects in an age of
default and risk.
Oleeson expertly explores the concept through three main themes. The first is an
exploration of what defines the current human condition, especially the expanding
cities that are at the heart of an over-consumptive world economic order. The second
exposes and reviews the reawakening of forms of knowledge ( naturalism ) that are
likely to worsen not improve our comprehension of the crisis. The new science of
urbanism*
in popular new literature exemplifies this dangerous trend. The third and
last part of the book considers prospects for a new urban, and therefore human, dis¬
pensation, the good city . We must first journey in our urban vessels through troubled
times, but can we now start to plot the way to new shores, to a safer, more resilient city
that provides for human flourishing? The Urban Condition attempts this ideal, conceiving
a new
urbanism
based on the old idea of self-limitation.
The Urban Condition is an original, timely book that reconsiders and redeploys
Arendt s famous notion of the human condition in an age of cities and risk. It brings
together several important strands of human consideration, urbanisation, climate
threat, resource depletion, economic default and critical knowledge, and weaves them
into a new analysis of the times. It also looks to a future that is nearly with us
—
of
changed climate, resource scarcity and economic stress. The book journeys into these
troubled times, proposing the idea of lifeboat cities as a way of thinking about the
human journey to come.
