Peter Seidel (born December 2, 1926) is an American architect-planner turned writer.[1]
Life and career
[edit]Seidel was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on December 2, 1926. He moved from Ann Arbor, Michigan to Ohio to plan a new town outside of Cincinnati, Ohio. His plans for the new town never came to fruition, but he instead built an eco-community in Clermont County on 188 acres of land.[2][3] Seidel's goal for this was a place where residents could get a feel of nature.[4][5]
Seidel lives in Northside, Cincinnati.
