Arab News | What We Are Reading Today: ‘Designing San Francisco’ by Alison Isenberg



“Designing San Francisco” is the untold story of the formative postwar decades when US cities took their modern shape amid clashing visions of the future. 

In this pathbreaking and richly illustrated book, Alison Isenberg shifts the focus from architects and city planners — those most often hailed in histories of urban development and design — to the unsung artists, activists, and others who played pivotal roles in rebuilding San Francisco between the 1940s and the 1970s.
