Drinking a glass of tap water,
strolling in a park, hopping a train for
the suburbs: some aspects of city life are
so familiar that we don't think twice
about them. But such simple actions are
structured by complex relationships with
our natural world. The contours of these
relationships
—
social, cultural, political,
economic, and legal
—
were established
during America's first great period of
urbanization in the nineteenth century,
and Boston, one of the earliest cities in
America, often led the nation in design¬
ing them. A richly textured cultural and
social history of the development of
nineteenth-century Boston, this book
provides a new environmental perspec¬
tive on the creation of America's first
cities.
Eden on the Charles explores how
Bostonians
channeled country lakes
through miles of pipeline to provide
clean water; dredged the ocean to deepen
the harbor; filled tidal flats and covered
the peninsula with houses, shops, and
factories; and created a metropolitan sys¬
tem of parks and greenways, facilitating
the conversion of fields into suburbs.
The book shows how, in Boston, differ¬
ent class and ethnic groups brought rival
ideas of nature and competing visions of
a "city upon a hill" to the process of urban¬
ization
—
and were forced to conform their
goals to the realities of Boston's distinctive
natural setting. The outcomes of their bat¬
tles for control over the city's development
were ultimately recorded in the very fabric
of Boston itself. In Boston's history, we find
the seeds of the environmental relationships
that
—
for better or worse·
—
have defined
urban America to this day.
