I am happy to find that the Austin Public Library collection now includes one copy of Edward L. Glaeser's Triumph of the City. This must have happened since I requested it by interlibrary loan last May, or my ILL request would have been rejected.
When it was published, this book elicited many comments in the blogosphere. One discussion of particular interest to me was per capita representation in the US Congress - how many people are represented by each representative and senator in various districts and states. This has a lot to do with representation of urban versus rural interests going back in time to the compromises made in drafting the US constitution and forward to how the present Congress functions.
