Description

Extract from the Introduction:
 
This book examines the efforts of planners and their advocates to harmonize city building and environmental protection. Despite its geriatric image, St. Petersburg is a young city, the product of America's amazing twentieth-century prosperity. The city has grown in concert with efforts to impose a rational order on society. Since the 1890s planners have combined utopian visions with regulatory techniques to channel development into desired urban forms. Their plans, however, have often generated more conflict than consensus.
