Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the Regional Planning Association of America (RPAA), this book explores the ambitions of influential planners who sought to reshape urban and industrial landscapes in early 20th-century America. It traces the RPAA's evolution from its inception in 1923 through its peak efforts until 1934, and its eventual decline in the late 1930s. Using a biographical lens, the author highlights the diverse perspectives and initiatives of key RPAA members, drawing from both published works and private correspondence to illuminate their impact on urban and regional planning.
