The City Is the People [Paperback]

An approach to city planning examining the achievements and failures of the past, the opportunities and difficulties of the present, and the possibilities and prospects of the future.Henry Churchill is one of those modern architects who are more interested in whole communities than in single buildings and more interested in people than in the transient brick, stone, cement, steel, wood or plastics in which communities are, so to speak, clothed. His present little book is an approach to city planning by way of an examination of the achievements and failures of the past and the opportunities and difficulties of today. Mr. Churchill thinks we are seeking new physical urban settings just as we are seeking new social and economic patterns.
