Yup. From NY, living in Pittsburgh now…so much destruction.
That "Tomorrow Is Here” pamphlet hurts the heart...
Right? What's worse is that this was the story of one small city. Yet it happened over and over again everywhere.
A hella lot of damage to people’s lives was done in the name of renewal. Thad argues for more modesty and thoughtfulness in planning today.
Agreed!
I have a copy of *City: Urbanism and Its End* by Douglas Rae, but I have never read it, and that's relevant to my research on the history of sidewalks. Was this one of your sources?
It wasn't, but it looks like I should add it to ever-growing list of books to read at some point!
