The Transatlantic Collapse of Urban Renewal : Postwar Urbanism from New York to Berlin (Historical Studies of Urban America)

"The Transatlantic Collapse of Urban Renewal" examines how postwar thinkers from both sides of the Atlantic considered urban landscapes radically changed by the political and physical realities of sprawl, urban decay, and urban renewal. With a sweep that encompasses New York, London, Toronto, and Berlin, among others, Christopher Klemek traces changing responses to the challenging issues that most affected day-to-day life in the world's cities.
