Select Condition 
Book Overview
Celebration, Florida, is perhaps the most successful planned community in the country, having recently won a coveted Florida state civic award. What many people don't know is that Walt Disney's original concept for what later became Epcot at Walt Disney World was exactly what Celebration is today-a thriving town where people live, work, go to school, attend to their health-care needs, shop, dine out, bank, and have myriad recreational opportunities. The richly illustrated Celebration: The Story of a Town explores the history of planned communities in America; the original concepts for Celebration complete with input from architects, social historians, and perhaps most important, local residents; and the ups and downs of this unique community as it establishes itself as one of Florida's most desired addresses.

The Celebration of a Town
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
In this book, Michael Lassell delivers a remarkably balanced and intimate portrait of this fascinating Florida town. In all ways, Mr. Lassell's book is far superior to Ross's The Celebration Chronicles and Frantz and Collins's Celebration USA. The text and the scores of beautiful photographs capture the magic of the town and enable the reader to understand why Celebration is considered by many to be the most significant new town to be developed in the second half of the twentieth century.
