The making of urban America : a history of city planning in the United States (Bog)

This comprehensive survey of urban growth in America has become a standard work in the field. From the early colonial period to the First World War, John Reps explores to what extent city planning has been rooted in the nation's tradition, showing the extent of European influence on early communities. Illustrated by over three hundred reproductions of maps, plans, and panoramic views, this book presents hundreds of American cities and the unique factors affecting their development.

A must read book for urban planners, historians and geographers. John Reps deserves his reputation as an outstanding educator and author. This book is proof of his ability to communicate the rich qualities of American cities and the planning that make them great. I highly recommend this book to all that love learning about cities.
