Overview
This essay is a historical journey through roads and highways and the meaning they've acquired as an essential part of the human built environment. John Brinckerhoff Jackson has led several generations of readers to new awareness of the everyday environment as important reservoirs of cultural meaning and has shed light on the forces that have shaped the United States.
Este ensayo hace un recorrido histórico por el significado que han ido adquiriendo los caminos y las carreteras como parte del entorno humano construido hasta convertirse en el elemento capital de las infraestructuras modernas que son hoy en día. Con una escritura aguda y concisa, John Brinckerhoff Jackson ha servido de guía a varias generaciones de lectores para generar una conciencia nueva sobre los entornos cotidianos como importantes crisoles de significado cultural, y ha arrojado luz sobre las fuerzas que han ido conformando el territorio estadounidense. Las preguntas planteadas en este ensayo van dirigidas a quienes utilizan las sendas, los caminos y las carreteras, y remite al sentido que cobran los lugares que atraviesan.
