"Proposed Plan - Philadelphia City Planning Exhibit, O.S. Stonorov and E.N. Bacon, April 2, 1946"

During the Better Philadelphia Exhibition Stonorov and Edmund Bacon enlist public support for their ideas by presenting their concepts in accessible terms as seen in this blueprint with slogans such as “The subject of this exhibit is you, your life, your family’s life in Philadelphia.” The blueprint also indicates Stonorov's and Bacon's modernist urge to clear-cut the city wholesale and start anew.
