Great Book on Pivotal Figure in Urban Planning
15 Nov 2005
Format:Hardcover
Little is known about Werner Hegemann, even among urban planners and historians. But he's really one of the more profound and original thinkers about urbanization that you will find anywhere. Christiane Crasemann Collins' book is destined to be the standard work on Hegemann's life and thought. Anyone with an interest in the history of 20th century urban planning theory--or even intellectual history in general--should read this book.
