Story
Thirty years after its publication, The Death and Life of Great American Cities was described by The New York Times as "perhaps the most influential single work in the history of town planning....[It] can also be seen in a much larger context. It is first of all a work of literature; the descriptions of street life as a kind of ballet and the bitingly satiric account of traditional planning theory can still be read for pleasure even by those who long ago absorbed and appropriated the book's arguments."

Not a good read
The AI voice used for this is creepy and mispronounces words frequently, such as “La Jolla Cali.” Some sentences were repeated. The book itself is written like a College Essay just trying to reach it’s word limit. Some of the information is good, but I had to skip the last half of the recording after the Glossary. Will not listen to again. Do not recommend.
