In the September Penn Press podcast, urban historian Howard Gillette, Jr. discusses the aspirations and realities of twentieth century urban planning in America. Gillette's latest book, Civitas by Design: Building Better Communities, from the Garden City to the New Urbanism, traces U. S. urban planning back to the Progressive Era and takes readers up to post-Katrina and Rita Gulf Coast reconstruction efforts.
