Peter Seidel

Peter Seidel (December 2, 1926, Milwaukee, Wisconsin) is an American architect-planner turned writer.

Life

Seidel 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. Seidel's goal for this was a place where residents could get a feel of nature.^[1]

Seidel lives in Northside, Cincinnati.
