Third City - Chicago and American Urbanism

Zusammenfassung Our traditional image of Chicago is such a powerful shaper of the city's identity that many of its closest observers fail to notice that a new Chicago has emerged over the years. The author tackles some of our more commonly held ideas about the Windy City - inherited from such icons as Theodore Dreiser, Carl Sandburg, Robert Park, and Mike Royko.
