Wrestling With Moses: How Jane Jacobs Took On New York's Master Builder And Transformed The American City | Anthony Flint

Great Backgrounder

3 years ago

This is a decently written non-fictional work about the well publicized battles between the quintessential modernist Robert Moses and his arch-nemesis and modernism's grandest critic in Jane Jacobs. Although Anthony Flint offers no new analytical insight into modernism, Flint does a good job in weaving in between stories to deliver a well-written biography. Written to the level of the average reader, I am sure this book will be of interest to anyone studying postwar urban development. read review
