In this essay, you will compare the analysis of Jane Jacobs and James Howard Kunstler to a third writer on the subject of American cities and suburbs in the post-WWII era. Your paper should address, but need not be limited to, the following questions:
1. How does each author address the role of government (local, state, and federal) in the development and re-development of U.S. cities?
2. How does each author address the role of the automobile and the growth of large highway projects in the transformation of American urban and suburban life after WWII?
3. What specific crisis does each author highlight, and what solutions does each author argue or imply would be most effective for the problems facing U.S. cities and suburbs?
