Fueled by a flourishing capitalist economy, undergirded by
advancements in architectural design and urban infrastructure, and
patronized by growing bourgeois and elite classes, New York's built
environment was dramatically transformed in the 1870s and 1880s.
This book argues that this constituted the formative period of New
York's modernization and cosmopolitanism-the product of a vital
self-consciousness and a deliberate intent on the part of its elite
citizenry to create a world-class cultural metropolis reflecting
the city's economic and political preeminence. The
interdisciplinary essays in this book examine New York's late
nineteenth-century evolution not simply as a question of its
physical layout but also in terms of its radically new social
composition, comprising the individuals, institutions, and
organizations that played determining roles in the city's cultural
ascendancy.
