When first published in 1970, The Uses of Disorder, was a call to
arms against the deadening hand of modernist urban planning upon
the thriving chaotic city. Written in the aftermath of the 1968
student uprising in the US and Europe, it demands a reimagination
of the city and how class, city life and identity combine. Too
often, this leads to divisions, such as the middle class flight to
the suburbs, leaving the inner cities in desperate straits. In
response, Sennett offers an alternative image of a "dense,
disorderly, overwhelming cities" that allow for change and the
development of community. Fifty years later this book is as
essential as it was when it first came out, and remains an
inspiration to architects, planners and urban thinkers everywhere.
