![]() ![]() I respect this text for the fresh perspective that it was at the time. ![]() That is still going on, even though those same city administrators may claim a love for Jacob's ideas. Yes, it is, but is informative regarding big cities and the motivations of city administrators and politicians in regards to federal funds and the motivation to big build stupid projects that do nothing for the citizen on the ground. ![]() Another commenter mentioned the book is dated. Listening to it for myself, I wonder if this is the same author people bring up when they talk about historic preservation, because I got a completely different sense of what she was saying, which is why I need a paper version as well. I've read urban planning commentary that quotes or refers to this Jacobs book as if it were the Bible. ![]() I will listen to it again but with a dead tree version close at hand because there are ideas that Jacobs mentions that I'd like to spend a bit more time thinking about before rolling on to the next thought. I appreciate the narrator because it seemed a bit more accessible in an audible format. I attempted to read the dead tree version of this book and did not get far. ![]()
