From the Back Cover
Dreaming The Rational City is both a history of the city-planning profession in the United States and a major polemical statement about the effort to plan and reform the American city. The book uncovers what planning's real responsibilities and goals have been, including what kind of 'rational order' was actually forseen by the planning mentality and concludes that the planners; have continuously served the needs of the dominant capitalist economy.
