Architect Safdie examines the car's tremendous impact upon our urban centers while arguing for the formation of new cities that incorporate the best of the old model with the open feel of the suburbs. The car's impact on the urban landscape became most pronounced after World War II, with a boom in both auto and highway production. City planning was then formulated around traffic flow and the need for parking. But with mobility, people headed out and away from the urban core, forming a new American city. We see it today in the housing enclaves, office buildings, and strip malls lining our highways. Safdie calls for a revolutionary change in city and regional planning to revitalize cities and give people the connection to nature they currently find in the suburbs. Insightful and thought provoking, the book is required reading for anyone concerned about the decline of the American city. Brian McCombie
