The graphic novel describes how Robert Moses became a brilliant architect and one of the most important politicians of Americas history. He built many highways, parkways, playgrounds, swimming pools, schools, homes and removed the slums to set down miles of roads. But he was not considered a hero by everyone. Many people criticized him and people did demonstrations against his urban planning. Jane Jacobs, who worked for a journal of architecture, had wrote many articles about the city and criticized the urban planning.
