R up front that was the note Mumford strikes, he really underlines his cool expectations that regional cities would constellate. I feel he gave no encouragement to the Robert Moseses with that approach. And the bigger his tomes, they are more memorable than for instance the straight forward survey-book the Brown Decades. The tone he takes is a serious vote of confidence in the cleverness of all kinds of us, not to talk-down. I work exclusively on those brown decade constructions Old West End Toledo, and by themselves they are only a piece, and not the end all. Is there an Americanization of the word Huegel Cultur ? To make it that much easier to talk about ?
