The thirteen projects take as their subject a site of contested transportation infrastructure--the Sheridan Expressway. By proposing new typologies for this site; these studies seek to mediate the spaces in the city where local and regional meet. Referencing the introduction of the modern parkway into the Bronx; the grading of the Central Park transverse roads; and other works that have redefined the relationship between parks and roads; author Jonathan Solomon suggests a system by which large projects might again be built in American cities.

Thoughtful gift now a course adopted by music professorBy PrintmavenI bought this text book for my niece before she embarked on a trip along with other academically selected student traveling for 3 months study abroad in Austria. She enjoyed the subject matter so much she brought it to the attention of her music professor. He was so impressed with the books contents he adopted it as a course text book for the students to take with them for study credits as they were visiting the actual sites called out in the book.
