How Walt Disney Changed Everything

The story ‘How Walt Disney Changed Everything: The Theme-Parking, Megachurching, Franchising, Exurbing, McMansioning of America’ on the March issue of National Geographic  http://www7.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0703/feature4/ might be of interest to urban anthropologists. It is the story of Orlando city in Florida, which has transformed ‘from swamp and sinkhole to 21^st century metropolis’ with the decision of Walt Disney in 1963 to turn this agricultural region of
Florida into a tourism theme-park.
