Integrating social history with economic and architectural analysis, and taking into account such factors as the availability of cheap land, inexpensive building methods, and rapid transportation, Kenneth Jackson chronicles the phenomenal growth of the American suburb from the middle of the 19th century to the present day. He treats communities in every section of the U.S. and compares American residential patterns with those of Japan and Europe. In conclusion, Jackson offers a controversial prediction: that the future of residential deconcentration will be very different from its past in both the U.S. and Europe."--Provided by publisher 606 $aHousing$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSuburban life$zUnited States 606 $aSuburbs$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions 615 0$aHousing$xHistory. 615 0$aSuburban life 615 0$aSuburbs$xHistory. 676 $a307.740973 700 $aJackson$b Kenneth T$0129794 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791208903321 996 $aCRABGRASS FRONTIER$9450965 997 $aUNINA
