It’s worth embracing a length of critical history of the multilevel urbanisms by knowing so many talented designers and architects who have made contributions to the experiments of multilevel urban transformation.
The authors introduce to us several cities which first deployed multilevel urbanism by telling the stories of some great architects. Then, they took Manhattan and Hong Kong as two specific examples of three-dimensional urban complexity.
These great architects, the creators who master the tools of public policy, all had a shrewd understanding on urban economics, and this would be the reason why they are so trusted to “create” and “transform” the urban cities to become “multilevel”.
Although nowadays, these skyways have been mundane to our daily lives, it’s thoughtful that behind these normal skyways, so much effort could be taken from the designers to plan and distribute the movement of people to better address social and economic problems.

Clear summary. I wonder what your thoughts on the ‘mundane’ footbridge systems are in your daily life.
