    Edward Glaeser's book Triumph of the City argues that cities have historically been drivers of economic growth and innovation due to their ability to facilitate face-to-face interactions and the sharing of ideas. Glaeser asserts that cities concentrate human capital in ways that increase productivity and that urban density allows for sharing of infrastructure and ideas in an efficient manner. The book review was written by Bee Yang for a Fall 2014 Urban Sociology course and cites Edward Glaeser's 2011 book Triumph of the City.
