520			_aRobert Moses & the Modern City re-examines the life and work of Robert Moses, who dominated New York City urban planning and development from the 1930s to the 1960s. The book offers a balanced and richly illustrated perspective that goes beyond the polarized views of Moses as either a visionary builder or a destructive force. The essays highlight Moses’s ambitious building programs, including vast park systems, iconic bridges, and extensive highways, which shaped the city’s modern infrastructure. The book critically addresses the social consequences of Moses’s projects, such as the displacement of communities during urban renewal. Through archival photographs and models, readers gain visual insight into Moses’s transformative impact and the scale of his work. The editors and contributors provide a scholarly reassessment, situating Moses’s legacy within broader urban history and planning debates. Overall, the book serves as both a tribute and a critique, reflecting the complexity of Moses’s influence on New York’s development.
