The Living City: Baltimore's Charles Center & Inner Harbor Development

In the early 1960s, Baltimore undertook a major urban renewal effort, not on the fringes of the city but in the heart of the Central Business District. Acclaimed Maryland photographer Marion E. Warren first photographed what would be irretrievably lost, then documented the rebuilding process. This book will be of great interest to architects, urban historians and urban planners.

Marion E. Warren has been photographing Maryland for five decades. More than 100,000 of his images are in the Marion E. Warren Collection at the Maryland State Archives in Annapolis. His life and work have been the subject of recent Maryland Public Television documentaries Michael P. McCarthy is an urban historian with degrees from Princeton, Johns Hopkins, and Northwestern. He has been a frequent contributor to the Maryland Historical Magazine, the quarterly journal of the Maryland Historical Society
