I remember watching a special on Moses a while back, and it actually was a woman named Jane Jacobs who was mainly responsible for preventing the Cross Manhattan Expressway from going through.

She also wrote some excellent books:
  • Jacobs, Jane. The Death and Life of Great American Cities. New York: Random House, 1961.
  • Jacobs, Jane. The Economy of Cities. New York: Vintage, 1969.
  • Jacobs, Jane. Cities and the Wealth of Nations: Principles of Economic Life. New York: Random House, 1984.
