Abstract

Toledo made national headlines in the mid-1940's when the legendary industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes, was commissioned to develop a plan for the city's future. Using archival work and field observation, this research analyzes the plan, and reflects on its impact on Toledo and on the design of American cities today.
