Gideon begins this section with the following statement, The future way of life consists in the recovery of the intimacy of life. Apparently, the 1950’s society did not anticipate huge urban development as he purports… having been a contemporary of such events and having written the book in the 1960s. Gideon was quite concerned at the lack of architectural thought and planning that would have ideally been needed prior to the vest development that was going on at the time in which he wrote. It’s interesting to me because I recently learned of Leonardo da Vinci having been an integral player in the planning of the urban development of Milan. I wonder what he would have suggested… No doubt his ideas would’ve been better than what we ended up with.
