Book Synopsis The Moral Economy of Cities by : Evelyn Sharon Ruppert
Book excerpt: Using the redevelopment of the Yonge-Dundas intersection in downtown Toronto in the mid-1990s as a case study, Ruppert examines the language of planners, urban designers, architects, and marketing analysts to reveal the extent to which moralization legitimizes these professions in the public eye.
