Bøger af Peter L. Laurence

Jane Jacobs (1916 2006) is an icon in urban planning and gained international recognition with her book The Death and Life of Great American Cities. In this anthology, 13 writers consider unique aspects of Jacobs, reassessing her work in the context of our contemporary reality.

In Becoming Jane Jacobs, an intellectual biography of the great urbanist, Peter L. Laurence asserts that The Death and Life of Great American Cities was not the spontaneous epiphany of an amateur activist but the product of a professional writer with deep knowledge about the renewal and dynamics of American cities.
