The Possible City: Exercises in Dreaming Philadelphia
Nathaniel Popkin
(Author)
Description
Without revolution, industry, or influence, says author Nathaniel Popkin, Philadelphia lives on by invention. Here, in the loving hand of the city planner-turned-writer, is the architecture of Philadelphia's current re-invention: its beguiling founding ideals, the physical ruins of its might, and the search, amidst rowhouse streets, for elevation, for an open city that delights, inspires, and performs.Product Details
