Heroes of Urban Design,
By "innavp" (Wellesley, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rites of Way: The Politics of Transportation in Boston and the U.S. City (A Cities Project Book) (Hardcover)
You would not believe it - but this book is as captivating as some detective or adventure novel. the difference is that instead of digging for gold or looking for long-lost treasures in some Andes, these people are real people, with real lives, and families and jobs - and they are fighting for an ideal that they all believe in. It just so happens to that this ideal is not that of love, or honor or dignity or anything of the sort, it is not even that of money being th ultimate good as in Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" - it is simply that of not building an Interstate highway in a haphazard manner of not taking into considerations people's homes and ways of existing. People fight for it just as others were fighting in the French revolution, and that didn't happen in some 17** Paris, but in the late 1960's, here in the United States - in Boston in fact. |
