	H-Net Review: Daniel Albert on Six Bridges: The Legacy of Othmar H. Ammann
		Ammann was laid off when projects were delayed, and he began a series of jobs where his hard work was rewarded with glowing recommendations and meager pay.
		Ammann was instrumental in the plans of Robert Moses to dismantle the old New York and build in its place a New York/New Jersey metropolitan region that would serve the needs of the automobile and a decentralized population.
		Ammann's role in the politics of this urban redevelopment would make a nice addition to the story of his life.
