The street railway created this division of the metropolis into an inner city of commerce and slums and an outer city of commuters’ suburbs. Streetcar Suburbs tells who built the new city, and why, and how.Included here is a new Introduction that considers the present suburb/city dichotomy and suggests what we can learn from it to assure a livable city of the future.SuburbsMassachusettsBostonCity planningMassachusettsBostonSuburbsCity planning711.4/5/0974461Warner Sam Bass1928-2023.1735115MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820255803321Streetcar suburbs4206055UNINA
