It presents a compelling argument regarding the inherent difficulties and eventual defeat of comprehensive town planning initiatives during this transformative era. The narrative illustrates how political, social, and economic forces often undermined grand architectural visions, leading to outcomes far removed from initial intentions. Readers gain a profound understanding of the intricate interplay between design, policy, and the lived experience of a metropolis.
