• catalog abstract ""William H. Whyte rose to prominence in the early 1950s as a writer at Fortune during that magazine's heyday with a series of articles on America's corporate culture. His research eventually culminated in the publication of The Organization Man (1956), a controversial bestseller that established Whyte as a leading voice in the debate over the social changes beginning to affect postwar America." "Over the course of the following three decades, Whyte led the charge to preserve what was best in America's great cities in the face of an increasingly suburbanized culture oriented toward the automobile." "Whyte's fascination with cities led to the creation of the Street Life Project, a ten-year study of the dynamics of how people interact with the urban environment. The crowning achievement of Whyte's career came with the publication of City: Rediscovering the Center (1988). In these pages Whyte distilled the results of his extensive empirical research into a celebration of why people are naturally drawn to the vibrant center of a city and what planners can do to encourage a healthy relationship between citizen and city." "The Essential William H. Whyte offers the core writings of a great observer of the postwar American scene."--Jacket.".
