The unprecedented urbanization of the 19th century prompted a range
of theoretical and empirical writings on the city. Some of these
writings addressed specific urban problems, especially relating to
infrastructure, housing and poverty. Others were more generally
concerned with the nature and texture of city life. This set
collects together some of the most significant writings on the city
from the period 1898 to 1938. Primarily dealing with North America
and the UK, the volumes nonetheless reflect the experience of rapid
urban growth, making them particularly relevant to many of the
newly industrializing countries. In all some nine volumes are
reproduced in their entirety, and these are supplemented by an
original introduction and collection of contemporary essays.
