Interesting ethnographic study about the town that was literally built by Disney. It's been a while since I read it, but I recall some fascinating stuff about how they organized the living spaces of different socioeconomic groups in Celebration. And also how they controlled Celebration's environment--including the weather. They actually made it snow during Christmas one year using this fake snow machine. Celebration sounds a little too "Truman Show" for my taste. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Amidst the swamp and scrub of central Florida, the Disney Corporation has built Celebration, an environmentally friendly place where 20,000 inhabitants can enjoy the old-fashioned virtues of small town America in a totally modern development. With newly-minted antique homes, a post office designed by Michael Graves, stringent regulations banning the hanging of washing outside and FOr Sale signs on lawns, and piped musak issuing from the palm trees that line its streets, no detail of Celebration has been left unplanned.
