"Walt and the Promise of Progress City is an amazing new book that explores how Walt Disney—the master of fiction—was determined to bring new life to the non-fiction world of city design and development and, in doing so, fundamentally improve the Great American way of life."
If you're into Horizons you'll be doing yourself a huge favor by learning more about the original EPCOT. Not "center" not lower case "Epcot". I say that because Horizons was the tail end (last) of the Walt Disney style visions of the future. I can't wait to get mine and further school myself on EPCOT the city.
Hoot - I just got mine on my Kindle and am a few pages into it. It looks very good so far with lots of history of how WDW/EPCOT started and the original vision (which didn't include bulldozing the attraction that was the greatest tribute to that vision).
ReplyDeleteI also want to give a shout out for Leonard Kinsey's book "The Dark Side of Disney" which I just finished. It was really great and I blazed through because it was fun as hell and very interesting too. Definitely should be required reading for everyone here.
Thanks for,the kind words. A fun project. Enjoy the ride.
