In Their Own Words

Paul Mason Fotsch, AB’87, AM’90

As twentieth-century city planners invested in new transportation systems to deal with urban growth, they ensured that the automobile rather than mass transit would dominate transportation. Combining an exploration of planning documents, sociological studies, and popular culture, this book shows how our urban infrastructure developed and how it has shaped American culture ever since.

The cover was designed by U of C graduate and art major Anjali Grant, AB'90.
