"Jane Jacobs, an editor and writer on architecture in New York City in the early sixties, argued that urban diversity and vitality were being destroyed by powerful architects and city planners. Rigorous, sane, and delightfully epigrammatic, Jacobs's small masterpiece is a blueprint for the humanistic management of cities. It is sensible, knowledgeable, readable, indispensable." Jane Jacobs was one of the leaders who opposed and stopped the building of the Lower Manhattan Expressway which would have cut through Greenwich Village. Size: Octavo. Seller Inventory # 031367
