City Making

Explore the intricate relationship between law and urban development in City Making by Gerald E. Frug, published by Princeton University Press in 2001. This insightful book, spanning 272 pages, delves into how government policies and legal frameworks shape the urban landscape we inhabit. Frug argues that the divided and often inhospitable nature of our cities is not merely a result of personal choices regarding residence or business location, but rather a consequence of the underlying legal rules that govern these decisions. City Making invites readers to reconsider the impact of political philosophy and public policy on urban planning, making it essential reading for anyone interested in sociology, political science, or regional planning. Discover how legal structures influence the fabric of urban communities and the implications for future city development.
