The Death and Life of Great American Cities: 50th Anniversary Edition
New York: Modern Library, 2011. Hardcover. 8vo., 598 pp. Decorated endpapers. Modern Library edition. Later print. Described by The New York Times as 'perhaps the most influential single work in the history of town planning.[It] can also be seen in a much larger context. It is first of all a work of literature; the descriptions of street life as a kind of ballet and the bitingly satiric account of traditional planning theory can still be read for pleasure even by those who long ago absorbed and appropriated the book's arguments.' The author has written a new foreword for this Modern Library edition. Fine in Fine dust jacket. Item #426202611
