Summary:

Describes urban planning and development from the end of World War II to 1973, when major elements of the design of Nebraska's largest city were in place. Shows how the apporaches to planning shifted during a period that saw Omaha change from a hub of food processing and transportation to a postindustrial center dominated by insurance and by educational, medical, and other services. Surveys developments such as the Central Park Mall and the Old Market area in light of earlier plans and their implementation.
