At once mundane and visionary, city planning shapes cities in ways that few people realize as they walk or drive around town-indeed, what they think of as their choice to walk or drive was in many ways already made for them in city plans.

Books on planning often just focus on an inner city or provide a rarified view of the process of planning. Gone Awry gives a uniquely unvarnished look at how city planning is actually done by telling of the experience of one region, San Diego, California. It's a broad synthesis of the forces that influence the writing of general plans, from the very human foibles of the people involved to the legacies of British colonization to the rise of the environmental movement and the backlash that sparked among landowners.
