City on a Hill / Urban Idealism in America from the Puritans to the Present - Alex Krieger
Urban Idealism in America from the Puritans to the Present
KORTE INHOUD
From the pilgrims to Las Vegas, hippie communes to the smart city, utopianism has shaped American landscapes. The Puritan small town was the New Jerusalem. Thomas Jefferson dreamed of rational farm grids. Reformers tackled slums through crusades of civic architecture. To understand American space, Alex Krieger looks to the drama of utopian ideals.
