The rise of cities in the United States from the early seventeenth
century to the 1960s is the subject of this sophisticated and witty
appraisal by a Pulitzer Prize historian. Constance McLaughlin Green
traces the forces - economic, political, social - that led to
today's urban civilization, beginning with the growth of colonial
seaports and local government, the rise of new cities that competed
for wealth and power with the older cities, the spread of
industrialization, transportation and communications that made
complex city life possible. She discussed the influence of city
life on art and architecture, the impact of depression and
prosperity upon urban centres, and analyses present-day problems -
race-relations, the population explosion, automation, the rise of
suburbia, and the development of the 'megapolis' that links city
with city in one vast urban interstate region. This book was first
published in 1966.
