My personal curriculum reading list for a couple of deep dives I have planned, all under the same general category of urbanism, intersectionality, and how to make cities better. This has been a niche interest of mine for a while, but mostly just a thing I watch YouTube videos about. Now I'm looking to dive a bit deeper! I'll add books as I build out my "curriculums" & if you have any suggestions pls let me know! I have a sister list about public transportation.

Books that, in my humble opinion, everyone should read. Includes mostly political science, sociology, and some history. Updating as I go along.
