With a novelists eye for telling detail, Douglas Rae depicts the features that contributed most to city life in the early urbanist decades of the twentieth century. Raes subject is New Haven, Connecticut, but the lessons he draws apply to many American cities.City: Urbanism and Its End begins with a richly textured portrait of New Haven in the early twentieth century, a period of centralized manufacturing, civic vitality, and mixed-use neighborhoods. As social and economic conditions changed, the city confronted its end of urbanism first during the Depression, and then very aggressively during the mayoral reign of Richard C. Lee (195470), when New Haven led the nation in urban renewal spending. But government spending has repeatedly failed to restore urban vitality. Rae argues that strategies for the urban future should focus on nurturing the unplanned civic engagements that make mixed-use city life so appealing and so civilized. Cities need not reach their old peaks of population, or look like thriving suburbs, to be once again splendid places for human beings to live and work. 410 0$aYale ISPS series. 606 $aCity and town life$zConnecticut$zNew Haven$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aIndustrialization$xSocial aspects$zConnecticut$zNew Haven$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aUrban renewal$zConnecticut$zNew Haven$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aNew Haven (Conn.)$xPolitics and government$y20th century 607 $aNew Haven (Conn.)$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 607 $aNew Haven (Conn.)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 615 0$aCity and town life$xHistory 615 0$aIndustrialization$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aUrban renewal$xHistory 676 $a974.6/8043 700 $aRae$b Douglas W$0460543 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819753803321 996 $aCity$92774194 997 $aUNINA
