The series examines the history of urban life and the development of the
urban landscape through works that place social, economic, and political issues
in the intellectual and cultural context of their times. Specific areas of
interest include the history of city planning; the history of neighborhoods and
communities; suburbs and suburbanization; landscape history and the history of
urban design; the urban infrastructure; ethnic groups, blacks, and women in the
city; and urban regionalism.
This series is now closed, and the Press does not
