- Synopsis
- In this study of 180 years of US metropolitan development, urban historian and architect Hayden (American studies, Yale U. ) examines the often conflicting visions that have shaped landscapes from Levittown to a prototype digital home. Older suburbs are deemed key to sustaining livability. Includes period illustrations. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
