Building the New Urbanism (eBook, PDF)

Places, Professions, and Profits in the American Metropolitan Landscape

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The volume encapsulates and engages the dominant history of American suburbia, brings the work of prominent theorists of culture and science into the investigation of urban and suburban development, and broadens the focus of urban studies to the metropolitan region. It will be of particular interest to scholars of urban and suburban development, material culture, and professions, but is accessible enough for use in sociology, geography, planning, and urban and suburban studies courses.
