p. 22 Il classico testo su come i piccoli business e gli operatori commerciali modellino la vita sociale quotidiana è di Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities (New York: Vintage, 1961). Negli ultimi anni, il famoso sociologo Elijah Anderson ha scritto su quella che egli chiama “la canopia cosmopolita”, ossia i posti in cui le persone provenienti da diversi background “non solo condividono lo spazio, ma cercano anche di trovare la presenza dell’altro” e occasionalmente intrecciano anche relazioni. Anderson ha condotto ricerche etnografiche sul campo in diversi siti esemplari d’interazioni incrociate di gruppo, inclusi il Philadelphia’s Reading Terminal Market e Rittenhouse Square, oltre a posti segnati dalla sorveglianza, dal sospetto e dalla segregazione sociale.

p. 27 Diversi libri recenti sostengono l’investimento nelle infrastrutture, incluso quello di Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Move: How to Rebuild and Reinvent America’s Infrastructure (New York: W. W. Norton, 2016), Henry Petroski, The Road Taken (New York: Bloomsbury, 2016), e Gretchen Bakke, The Grid (New York: Bloomsbury, 2016); ancora nessuno richiama l’attenzione sul valore dell’infrastruttura sociale.
p. 28 Non molto tempo dopo che Andrew Carnegie iniziò a investire sulle biblioteche, Joseph Stalin iniziò la sua campagna per costruire “palazzi per le persone” in Russia. L’eredità più simbolica di questo progetto è una serie di magnifiche stazioni metropolitane a Mosca, ognuna decorata con grandi lampadari in marmo, mosaici e sculture, così come vari complessi abitativi e club sociali per i lavoratori sovietici.
