Rob H. (rgherndon) reviewed The Power Broker: Robert Moses and The Fall of New York on + 9 more book reviews
Amazing amount of detail (okay, I skipped a few pages) and had really hoped to learn more about the 1964 NYWF, which unfortunately was somewhat glossed over, but learned an incredible amount about Robert Moses that I did not know. Now want to go back and read some personal writings and interviews with him. Also surprised that Jane Jacobs was never mentioned, but don't know that much about her yet other than she objected to his method of city building. Having driving through that area several times, it was really fascinating to learn about how they were developed and his plan came together.
