This historical study looks at how reformers have used urban
planning and architecture to improve the health of urban residents
of the United States. It begins in the nineteenth century, when
problems in rapidly urbanizing cities threatened to overwhelm
cities, and then traces the development and impact of reform
movements up through the First World War, including discussions of
model tenements, the 'city beautiful' movement, tenement laws, and
zoning and building codes. Midcentury design movements, such as new
efforts to plan suburbs and Modernism, along with outlines of the
impacts of public housing, highway building, and urban renewal, are
the focus of the middle chapters of the book. The final third
examines the revival of cities and the reconnection of public
health with urban planning that occurred as the twentieth century
ended.
