Mayor’s Desk and City Tech

By Rob Walker and Anthony Flint

Octubre 2025, inglés

Lincoln Institute of Land Policy


This set is currently available for preorder.

Now available as a set for the first time, these thoughtful journalistic collections spotlight replicable solutions to pressing urban issues.

In a series of accessible, engaging Q&As, Mayor’s Desk profiles 20 mayors from five continents, who share strategies for using land policy to address challenges ranging from racial injustice to the climate crisis. Written by Anthony Flint, with an introduction by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and an afterword by former American Planning Association President Angela Brooks, Mayor’s Desk demonstrates that local governments are the real engines of change.

With the world rapidly urbanizing, City Tech investigates emerging technologies and their implications for planners, policy makers, residents, and the virtual and literal landscapes of the cities we call home. The book features newly updated essays by Rob Walker, with an introduction by tech journalist Kara Swisher and an afterword by urbanist and futurist Greg Lindsay.

Packed with full-color photography, both books in this urban solutions set will inspire, educate, and surprise all who strive to influence the evolution of their cities.
