   《设计旧金山》是一本记录战后美国旧金山设计和发展的城市史书，是这个世界上最伟大的城市的一幅深刻历史肖像，在了解过去和现在的城市设计斗争中，提供了定义未来城市一种新的范例。

当二十世纪五十年代大规模重建旧金山时，由此激发了众多联盟艺术领域及其专业人士的意见冲突，其中包括建筑模型制作人，房地产公关人员，平面设计师，摄影师，物业经理，建筑商，雕塑家，公益律师，新闻作家和保护主义者。伊森贝格探讨了这些核心参与的艺术专业人士如何为城市，地区和国家规划带来新思路，并塑造了跨城市，郊区和农村边界的新颖项目。旧金山的重建激起了对稀缺城市土地的不公平竞争，并推动了负责任的公共土地管理的辩论。伊森贝格挑战了这个复兴时代的许多真理 - 特别是战后的城市设计的男性统治论，显示了在20世纪70年代女性主义的影响之前，女性如何在城市建设中进行合作。

A major new urban history of the design and development of postwar San Francisco

Designing San Francisco is the untold story of the formative postwar decades when U.S. cities took their modern shape amid clashing visions of the future. In this pathbreaking and richly illustrated book, Alison Isenberg shifts the focus from architects and city planners--those most often hailed in histories of urban development and design--to the unsung artists, activists, and others who played pivotal roles in rebuilding San Francisco between the 1940s and the 1970s. 

Previous accounts of midcentury urban renewal have focused on the opposing terms set down by Robert Moses and Jane Jacobs--put simply, development versus preservation--and have followed New York City models. Now Isenberg turns our attention west to colorful, pioneering, and contentious San Francisco, where unexpectedly fierce battles were waged over iconic private and public projects like Ghirardelli Square, Golden Gateway, and the Transamerica Pyramid. 

When large-scale redevelopment came to low-rise San Francisco in the 1950s, the resulting rivalries and conflicts sparked the proliferation of numerous allied arts fields and their professionals, including architectural model makers, real estate publicists, graphic designers, photographers, property managers, builders, sculptors, public-interest lawyers, alternative press writers, and preservationists. Isenberg explores how these centrally engaged arts professionals brought new ideas to city, regional, and national planning and shaped novel projects across urban, suburban, and rural borders. San Francisco's rebuilding galvanized far-reaching critiques of the inequitable competition for scarce urban land, and propelled debates over responsible public land stewardship. Isenberg challenges many truisms of this renewal era--especially the presumed male domination of postwar urban design, showing how women collaborated in city building long before feminism's impact in the 1970s. 

An evocative portrait of one of the world's great cities, Designing San Francisco provides a new paradigm for understanding past and present struggles to define the urban future.
