An original work on American cities and the ongoing "urban crisis".
Using the metaphor of the socially constructed organization of
space, Bartlett takes a broad view of the evolution of urban
America, from its historical roots to the present; he then examines
the way in which current policies have responded to, and affected
the organization of space (covering housing, transportation,
government and other urban problems). He concludes with a look to
the future of American cities, how they will impact and be impacted
on by changing commercial and labor markets, by the problems of
poverty and cultural change. In an epilogue, he explores possible
ways to overcome the "social dilemmas", while recognizing the
difficulty of this undertaking.
A thoroughly unique perspective to the study of cities, this
book is about how space is used in America and how it changes as
the "logic of location" evolves historically. Starting with the
assumption that cities are fundamentally unnatural" phenomena, it
unravels the interactions of technological advances that have made
them possible and policies that have given them shape.
