Eyes on the Street

The indomitable woman who revolutionized the way we think about cities, how we live in them, and who can be credited with stopping expressways and rescuing neighborhoods throughout America is revealed in Eyes on the Street. The woman who raised three children and authored seven breakthrough books is here seen as a third-grader pushing her teacher; a high school poet; and a journalist refining her writing talents at Iron Age, Architectural Forum, Fortune, and other publications while gathering the knowledge she'd need to create her most renowned book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities.
