The field of urban environmental history is a relatively new one,
yet it is rapidly moving to the forefront of scholarly research and
is the focus of much interdisciplinary work. Given the
environmental problems facing the modern world it is perhaps
unsurprising that historians, geographers, political, natural and
social scientists should increasingly look at the environmental
problems faced by previous generations, and how they were regarded
and responded to. This volume reflects this growing concern, and
reflects many of the key concerns and issues that are essential to
our understanding of the problems faced by cities in the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries. Addressing a variety of environmental
issues, such as clean water supply, the provision/retention of
green space, and noise pollution, that faced European and North
American cities the essays in this volume highlight the common
responses as well as the differences that characterised the
reactions to these trans-national concerns.
