The Dream of Cities
F. F. Myerberg
October 1965. 521 pages

Dr. Myerberg, a Holocaust survivor and noted weight lifter, committed suicide in the winter of 1964, leaving behind this enigmatic treatise on urban planning. Although incomplete and written in what one critic has called "an impenetrable, improbably poetic style," The Dream of Cities provides an interesting counterpoint to the work of his contemporary, Jane Jacobs, in its advocacy for rigid divisions between commercial, residential and geschlechtlich neighborhoods. Though Myerberg published dozens of books on urban planning in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s (and was instrumental in the planning of downtown Des Moines, Iowa), it is for The Dream of Cities that he is chiefly remembered.
