Reviews / Votes
"Larson brilliantly dissects Bloomberg's tenure as Mayor of New York (particularly the first two terms), focusing on how the administration used the prevailing legacies of Moses and Jacobs to get what they wanted done... [T]his book raises a flag as to what that legacy should be, as well as to what his successor should really focus on."--A Weekly Dose of Architecture, August 12th 2013More details
