twentieth century, but how carefully crafted narratives and images of the city, past and present, shape public perception. This interest connects with an additional interest in contemporary public history practice. Ammon's exploration of urban revitalization efforts led to her book Bulldozer: Demolition and Clearance of the Postwar Landscape, which explores the twentieth century idea that destruction would lead to progress. Connecting this work to historic preservation and public history, Ammon created the digital humanities project Preserving Society Hill. The project brings together sources such as public plans, historic photographs, oral histories, and memoirs to tell and make public the story of Society Hill in Philadelphia. She is pursuing similar research in Montreal. Ammon has presented her work at meetings of the Society for American City & Regional Planning History, Urban History Association, Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning, Policy History Conference, Business History Conference, and the American Studies Association. She has also contributed to radio programs, including WNYC's The Takeaway, WNPR's The Colin McEnroe Show, and KPFA's Against the Grain, as well as the PBS television documentary 10 Towns That Changed America.
