The changing patterns of houses, buildings, streets, parks, pipes and wires, wharves, railroads, highways, and airports reflect changing patterns of the social, political, and economic processes that shape the city. In this book, Sam Bass Warner and Andrew Whittemore map more than three hundred years of the American city through the evolution of urban form. They do this by offering an illustrated history of "the City"--a hypothetical city (constructed from the histories of Boston, Philadelphia, and New York) that exemplifies the American city's transformation from village to regional metropolis.In an engaging text accompanied by Whittemore's detailed, meticulous drawings, they chart the City's changes. Planning for the future of cities, they remind us, requires an understanding of the forces that shaped the city's past. 410 0$aUrban and industrial environments. 606 $aCities and towns$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aCity and town life$zUnited States$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCities and towns$xHistory. 615 0$aCity and town life$xHistory. 676 $a307.760973 700 $aWarner$b Sam Bass$f1928-$033325 701 $aWhittemore$b Andrew H.$f1980-$0900196 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461240903321 996 $aAmerican urban form$92011139 997 $aUNINA
