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, Why the Right Went Wrong and co-author of One Nation After
Trump“Saving Americaâ€s Cities is a richly documented account of Ed
Logueâ€s remarkable career. Lizabeth Cohen captures the sense of public
purpose and possibility as well as the political battles that made this
a distinctive era in the history of American city building. An
impressive achievement that speaks to all who care about the fortunes of
urban America―past, present, and future.“ ―Alice O'Connor,
Professor and Director, University of California–Santa Barbara Blum
Center on Global Poverty Alleviation and Sustainable Development'In some
ways, Edward Logue was an imperial master builder, a latter-day version
of Robert Moses. But in others―particularly in his abiding concern for
the welfare of our cities†poor and powerless―he could not have been
more different. Lizabeth Cohenâ€s penetrating study of the man and his
era sees both Logue and the post-war urban America he tried to rebuild
clearly, and persuasively. Itâ€s quite a story, very well told.'
―Daniel Okrent, author of The Guarded Gate and Last Call'This
captivating biography of Ed Logue explains how a largely-forgotten
liberal power broker made a profound but little-known impact on the
urban landscape we still inhabit. One of our most distinguished
historians, Lizabeth Cohen illuminates the struggle to make cities both
viable and democratic that shaped postwar America. At a time when
ordinary people can barely afford to live in Americaâ€s biggest cities,
Cohenâ€s book is a necessary book to read.' ―Michael Kazin, Professor
of History, Georgetown University, and author of War Against War: The
American Fight for Peace, 1914-1918'For a few decades near the end of
the twentieth century, the United States embraced the idea that it was
the governmentâ€s responsibility to rebuild the countryâ€s
deteriorating cities. In her vividly told and meticulously researched
biography of Edward Logue, the high-flying master rebuilder of East
Coast cities, Lizabeth Cohen has brought this vanished era fu
