My reading project for the year is Robert Caro’s The Power Broker. Lots of lessons for city planning; this one seems particularly relevant for #Ottawa. Raising fares discourages people from taking transit. #otttransit #octranspo #autowa #RobertMoses #RobertCaro

Door het lezen van Robert Caro ben ik niet alleen Rutte maar vooral ook Amerika beter gaan begrijpen.

Mark Rutte heeft mij ook iets goeds gebracht.
Dat Mark Rutte mij nog eens iets zou brengen waar ik hem oprecht dankbaar voor ben, had ik niet voorzien.

I tracked down a letter to the editor in the #NYT from October 22, 1945, in which a certain Lester Waterbury proposes eliminating all private cars from Manhattan AND replacing them with a fleet of electric taxis. That would be a city! #nytransit #congestionpricing #robertcaro #nyc #urbanplanning

It’s crazy that the NY Post was the only NYC paper doing actual journalism in the 1950s.

Robert Caro Reflects on ‘The Power Broker’ and Its Legacy at 50
Caro’s book on Robert Moses, a city planner who reshaped New York, is also a reflection on “the dangers of unchecked power,” and remains more resonant and relevant than ever.

Gotta give credit to Gene Gleason and Fred Cook at the World Telegram too. Their stories were even better researched and critical of Moses than those at the Post.
