具体描述
A panoramic and thoroughly researched account—at once ambitious and accessible—of the urban migrations that are reshaping our world.
What will be remembered about our century, perhaps more than anything except global warming, is the final shift of human populations from agricultural life to cities, the effects of which are being felt around the world. Arrival City gives us an on-the-ground view of this phenomenon—from Maryland to Shenzhen, from the favelas of Rio to the shanty towns of Mumbai, from Los Angeles to Nairobi. Doug Saunders introduces us to the migrants themselves, and with the aid of their stories elucidates their essential part in the economic fabric. He makes clear that the cities and nations that provide citizenship and opportunity to migrants stand to benefit as the migrant class evolves into a middle class, and he explains why those that ignore these people will see increased social unrest, poverty, and religious fundamentalism.
Blending intimate personal portraits with brilliant social analysis, Arrival City will change the way we think about globalization.

读后感
我从乡村来。 农村出生的少年人生轨迹并没有多大的变化，一种是像我这样的，拼命读书争取考上大学，然后进入都市；另外一种就是读书无用论，早早辍学，进城打工，早日养家。这两种生活模式是现在大多数农村少年的未来。 我的生活状况是这样，大学毕业即失业，来到省城，先用...
