Theres a lot of history packed into just 200 pages; some of it is fascinating while other parts were a little dry. The author is truly knowledgeable about cities. however. and I enjoy that he provides his perspective in a seemingly non-ideological way. I felt like this book is a wonderful appetizer. but I ended up getting Edward Glaesers Triumph of Cities after I finished in order to get a more comprehensive treatment of the subject. So maybe if youre just looking for a fly-by of the ideas that have affected how American cities look and operate. this is perfect.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

Witold has done it again. bringing accessible understanding of a complicated issue to anyone who is interested in learning.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great book.

Great book for her to reference.
