ATDTDA (12): The Chicago School

[Paul Nightingale]

Modernist culture was always ambivalent about urbanism, and this, in the
(sociological) way I mean it, has nothing to do with architectural design
per se. In AtD it is a feature of the way expanding communities are
described, eg in relation to the role of the railway (Nochecita, 200-201)
and technological change (Telluride, eg the "soulless incandescence"
passage, 282). Dally in New York in the current chapter is a case in point.
