From the Paper:
"Savannah, GeorgiaLike London and Paris, Savannah is not so much a city as a region of the heart, a quality of grace and leisure that has nearly vanished from most urban centers (Fancher, 1971, p. 21). Her varied and interesting history and architectural heritage give her a special place and meaning for Americans.
Situated on a bluff overlooking the Savannah River 16 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, Savannah is one of only a few cities planned with great deliberation and care. Its founder, James Oglethorpe, established the city in 1733, incorporating many ideas from London, including symmetrical squares, gardens, and broad avenues. His city of squares is unique, each square containing a semitropical flora-dominated park enclosed by Greek Revival and Georgian edifices, many of which survive to this day."
