Summary: The Urbanization of Modern America by Zane Miller
Comment: This book would make a perfect addition to your child's personal
library. It would be helpful in almost any social studies
project at school. The book covers the growing urbanization in
America. There are scenes depicting Broadway in NY in the mid
1850s, downtown Seattle at the turn of the century circa 1904,
the Brooklyn Bridge during 1898 and an artist's depiction
of New York in 100 years. The work covers the organization
of work in the City, the process of industrialization, population
growth, attempts at political reform and the growing Federal
involvement in funding the cities. The dynamics of the movement
from the farm to the city is explained together with the
demography and population implications. The work depicts
a bar graph with 100T housing starts during the Great Depression
which grew to over 1.2MM starts by the late 1940s.
This book is a goldmine for American History buffs, city
planners and a host of other interested professionals .
The pictures alone are well-worth the price of this book.
