Shaping American Democracy: Landscapes and Urban Design

By Scott M. Roulier

Book Overview

Introduces the unique democratic visions of Olmsted, Wright, Moses, and several new urbanists to a broader academic audience, to treat them as theorists of democracy in their own right
Blends together research in urban policy with environmental political theory by focusing on both landscapes and build spaces, i.e humans' relationship to nature and the environment
Includes chapters on specific architects, planners and design movements--information that is relevant not juts to political theorists and urban studies scholars but also to practitioners
