Negative Positive
Title: Please be serious!
Review: Disclaimer: I have not read this. However, I don't need to. Just look at all of the high-rise public housing projects that used this book as a blueprint and how they have fared (hint: disastrously) to understand the success of the opinions within. He had absolutely no understanding about what makes cities work because he had very little understanding of humans. His mission was to exalt the machine...period. Plain and simple the guy was a kook, whose passionate prose was tragically interpreted as genius, much to the detriment of humanity. Save your time and money and stay away from this guy. His influence will continue to diminish. Only read if you want to pinpoint the inspiration behind virtually all that's bad about the built environment in your area.
