A good survey of urban planning in Detroit since WW II August 15, 1999 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
A good review of urban planning in Detroit since the end of the Second World War. Although I don't always agree with the author's conclusions (and I admit a bias here, as my father was an urban planner for the City of Detroit during the period covered by the book), she has done an excellent job explaining a complicated and, perhaps, ultimately unmanagable process. Her documentation is excellent. My only complaint, and it is a minor one, is that, although the book is profusely illustrated with sketch maps showing the effects of different programs, it lacks an overall reference map of Detroit and Southeastern Michigan, which puts a reader not familiar with Detroit and it's geography at a distinct disadvantage at times in following the text.
