The book traces five broad developments: the expansion and redefinition of public space, the construction of landscaped highways, the creation of a modern water supply system, the radical environmental politics of the barrio in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and the contemporary politics of the environmental justice movement. Drawing on political economy, environmental studies, social theory, cultural theory, and architecture, Gandy shows how New York's environmental history is bound up not only with the upstate landscapes that stretch beyond the city's political boundaries but also with more distant places that reflect the nation's colonial and imperial legacies. Using the shifting meaning of nature under urbanization as a framework, he looks at how modern nature has been produced through interrelated transformations ranging from new water technologies to changing fashions in landscape design. Throughout, he considers the economic and ideological forces that underlie phenomena as diverse as the location of parks and the social stigma of dirty neighborhoods. 606 $aUrban ecology (Sociology)$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aHuman ecology$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aCity planning$xEnvironmental aspects$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aLand use, Urban$zNew York (State)$zNew York 610 $aENVIRONMENT/Environmental Politics & Policy 610 $aURBANISM/General 615 0$aUrban ecology (Sociology) 615 0$aHuman ecology 615 0$aCity planning$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aLand use, Urban 676 $a304.2/09747/1 700 $aGandy$b Matthew$0329679 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248155703316 996 $aConcrete and clay$92353901 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
