Focusing on the innovative contributions of developer James Rouse, the book explores his pivotal role in reshaping urban policy in America. Rouse championed the idea that the private sector could effectively create ideal urban environments with minimal government intervention. His projects, including shopping centers and festival marketplaces, served as a counterpoint to state-controlled urbanism seen in the Soviet Union and Europe. Through diverse communication strategies, he advocated for a new vision of urban development that emphasized community and commerce.
