Through an array of archival sources, Anna Rose Alexander argues that fire became a catalyst for social change, as residents mobilized to confront the problem. Advances in engineering and medicine soon fostered the rise of distinct fields of fire-related expertise while conversely, the rise of fire-profiteering industries allowed entrepreneurs to capitalize on crisis. City on Fire demonstrates that both public and private engagements with fire risk highlight the inequalities that characterized Mexican society at the turn of the twentieth century"--$cProvided by publisher. 330 2 $a"City on Fire is a chronicle of progress and danger, that integrates urban environmental history with histories of technology, science, and medicine to reveal how Mexico City changed in response to the growing threat of fire in the urban center"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aPittsburgh Hist Urban Environ 606 $aSocial medicine$zMexico 606 $aSocial medicine$zMexico$zMexico City$xHistory 607 $aMexico City (Mexico)$xSocial conditions$y19th century 607 $aMexico City (Mexico)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aMexico City (Mexico)$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aSocial medicine 615 0$aSocial medicine$xHistory. 676 $a362.10972 686 $aHIS025000$2bisacsh 700 $aAlexander$b Anna Rose$01710530 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808266203321 996 $aCity on fire$94101223 997 $aUNINA
