According to the book Happy City written by Charles Montgomery, the author tries to distinguish between two main conceptions of “happiness” (urban hedonism and urban eudaimonia) and tries to answer a question of what factors could make a city “happy” again. The brief analyses of cultural articulation of possible future of cities contains such issues as culture of crisis, social isolation, solitude in culture, ecocity and biophilic design.
