Dreaming the rational city

Dreaming the rational city : the myth of American city planning
Boyer, M. Christine
1986
Cambridge, Massachusetts ; London, England : The MIT Press.  xii, 331 p.
Resumen:  Dreaming the Rational City is both a history of the city planning profession in the United States and a major polemical statement about the effort to plan and reform the American city.
Boyer shows why city planning, which had so much promise at the outset for making cities more liveable, largely failed. She reveals planning's real responsibilities and goals, including the kind of "rational order" that was actually forseen by the planning mentality, and concludes that the planners have continuously served the needs of the dominant capitalist economy.M. Christine Boyer is an Associate Professor in the School
