"Marshall opens with guns blazing to mow down New Urbanism, in particular Andres Duany, the Miami-based town planner who with his wife Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk has been at that movement's forefront...His big beef about the American urban scene is that our transportation system sucks and that nobody understands this-and therefore nobody understands how cities work." [The book review is titled "One Track Mind" and is halfway down the page.]
