Produktbeschreibung
In The Unfinished Metropolis, Benjamin Schneider explores why America's favorite things to build--freeways, single-family homes, malls, and downtown office towers--are keeping us stuck in the past. We deserve cities where housing is abundant, public transit is fast and seamless, and streets are for more than car storage. To accomplish this, we need to free ourselves from these outdated forms so we can experiment with new types of housing, new uses for streets, and new purposes for downtowns. We need to embrace the art of city-building. Talking to urban designers, planners, and community advocates, Schneider takes readers on an insightful and entertaining tour of how we can make our cities work better for us today and into the future.
