Description

Explore the visionary ideas of one of the most influential figures in modern design. During his final months, Walt Disney focused his attention on the growing challenges facing global cities. This volume examines his response to urban decay and the expansion of the megalopolis through his unique development concept. Discover the history behind the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, known as EPCOT. This book focuses on the original vision for a community of approximately 20,000 people located on the Disney World property in central Florida. It provides a look at how Disney intended to use experimental design to address the problems of the inner city and urban sprawl. Written in an engaging style, this book is an essential read for those interested in the intersection of architecture, urban planning, and the built environment.
