| Summary |
The antagonism between urbanist and writer Jane Jacobs and master builder Robert Moses may frame debates over urban form, but in ""Building Like Moses with Jacobs in Mind, "" Scott Larson aims to use the Moses-Jacobs rivalry as a means for examining and understanding the New York City administration's redevelopment strategies and actions. By showing how the Bloomberg administration's plans borrow selectively from Moses' and Jacobs' writing, Larson lays bare the contradictions buried in such rhetoric and argues that there can be no equitable solution to the social and economic go. |
