Edward J. Logue

Edward J. "Ed" Logue (February 7, 1921 – January 27, 2000) was born in Philadelphia and an urban planner, public administrator, lawyer, politician, and academic who worked in New Haven, Boston, and New York State.[1] Commentators often compare Logue with Robert Moses - both were advocates of large-scale urban renewal in the United States from the 1950s through the 1970s.[2]
