Affluent and predominantly white residents fought back in a much heralded "freeway revolt," saving such historic neighborhoods as Greenwich Village and New Orleans's French Quarter. This book tells of the other revolt, a movement of creative opposition, commemoration, and preservation staged on behalf of the mostly minority urban neighborhoods that lacked the political and economic power to resist the onslaught of highway construction.</A Quadrant BookArchitecture -- Urban planningCity planning -- United StatesExpress highways -- Social aspects -- United StatesExpress highwaysSocial aspectsUnited StatesUrban planningUnited StatesBusiness & EconomicsHILCCTransportation EconomicsHILCCElectronic books.Architecture -- Urban planning.City planning -- United States.Express highways -- Social aspects -- United States.Express highwaysSocial aspectsUrban planningBusiness & EconomicsTransportation Economics303.48320973Avila Eric1968-1038928AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910464745703321The Folklore of the Freeway2482985UNINA
