Recenzii

"Imagining Philadelphia offers an insightful exploration of the ideas and impact of the Philadelphia city planner Edmund Bacon, but it is much more. Readers will see that urban development involves personalities beyond one 'great man' and will be challenged to participate themselves in the next set of big ideas to reshape the city."-Charlene Mires, author of Independence Hall in American Memory "Illuminating... The first book to assess the ideas and impact of Philadelphia's legendary city planner."-Philadelphia City Paper
