| Zusammenfassung: | In the early twentieth century, America was transformed from a predominantly agricultural nation to one whose population resided mostly in cities. Yet rural areas continued to hold favored status in the country's political life. For prominent figures in the social sciences, city planning, and real estate who were anxious about the future of cities, this obsession with the agrarian past inspired a new campaign for urban reform. They called for ongoing programs of natural resource management to be extended to maintain and improve cities. The author finds in the rise and fall of the American conservation movement a new understanding of the history of urban renewal in the United States. The professionals she examines came to view America's urban landscapes as ecological communities requiring scientific management on par with forests and farms. This book brings together environmental and urban history to reveal how, over four decades, this ecological vision shaped the development of cities around the nation. |
