Description
'[Cohen] has not only taken the measure of a complicated man, but also provided an incisive
treatment of the entire urban-planning world in America in the last half of the 20th century . . .
[She] has created a more enlightening book than has appeared on this topic in quite some time.'
―Alan Ehrenhalt, The New York Times'Kudos to Harvard professor Lizabeth Cohen for
exhuming the cantankerous, ambitious and idealistic Logue in her charming and successful
biography-cum-urban affairs history . . . Ms. Cohen ennobles [Logue's] life story, telling it as an
impassioned crusade for things that sound old-fashioned now but were and are worth caring
about: racial and socioeconomic integration of neighborhoods; respectable public housing for
lower-income Americans; and social services and decent schooling for all . . . Engrossing.' ―Alex
Beam, The Wall Street Journal 'Lizabeth Cohen offers a complex portrait of Logue . . . Urban
renewal makes an easy foil against which designers, planners, and politicians can contrast their
proposals . . . Itâ€s worth revisiting a time when a strong government hand was seen as
necessary for creating a vibrant city . . . Logue is a more complicated figure who shows how urban
renewal was an experiment with successes and failures.' ―Courtney Humphries, The Boston
Globe“Sixteen years after her landmark A Consumers' Republic, distinguished historian
Lizabeth Cohen reinterprets mid-century urban renewal through the life of Ed Logue . . . Cohen,
through meticulous research, paints an intricate, sympathetic portrait . . . Cohen has given readers
a book as substantial and complex as the man and controversial movement it explains.― ―Sam
Kling, Booklist (starred review)'More than a biography . . . Today, when inequality is on the rise,
Saving Americaâ€s Cities warns against easy solutions while offering hope that people can
improve the places where we live―and with that, peopleâ€s lives.' ―Ann Forsyth, Harvard
Magazine'One of Americaâ€s most controversial policies as seen through the career of one of
its most outspoken advocates; an essential read.' ―Library Journal (starred review)'In this deeply
researched work, Cohen skillfully chronicles Logue's rise and fall . . . A robust, richly documented
biography.' ―Kirkus'Is it possible to write not only a good book about urban renewal but also a
beautiful one? If you are Lizabeth Cohen, it is. Saving America's Cities is, at once, a new, wise and
more balanced take on past efforts to save America's cities and a fascinating portrait of Ed Logue,
a central figure in urban policy whose personal trajectory parallels the course of our debates over
what works, and what doesn't. If you care about cities, you should read this book. But you should
also read it if you simply love a great story full of compelling characters engaged in high-stakes
struggles. It's a wonderful achievement.' ―E. J. Dionne, Jr., author of Our Divided Political Heart,
