Více o knize
The book explores the intense rivalry between Jane Jacobs and Robert Moses, highlighting their opposing visions for New York City. Jacobs cherished the character of Greenwich Village, while Moses advocated for urban renewal through large-scale developments. As Jacobs rallied public support against Moses's plans, including the Lower Manhattan Expressway, she fundamentally reshaped urban planning and the perception of community in America. Her story serves as a powerful reminder of individual agency in challenging authority and advocating for the preservation of neighborhoods.
