Celebration - The Story of a Town

Celebration - The Story of a Town by Michael Lassell. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780786854059.

Celebration, Florida, is perhaps the most successful planned community in the country, having recently won a coveted Florida state civic award. What many people dont know is that Walt Disneys 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 Floridas most desired addresses.
