Abstract:
"Drawing on perspectives and writings from across a number of disciplines involved in urban historical studies - including archaeology, urban history, historical geography and architectural history - the books in the series explore how towns and cities have been shaped by applications of a range of technologies, and how such technological applications have been influenced by their contexts, including politics, economics, culture and the natural environment." "American Cities and Technology is designed to be used on its own or in association with The American Cities and Technology Reader in the same series. It ranges from 1790, when five per cent of the US population lived in 'urban' areas, to 1990, when the figure was seventy-five per cent."--BOOK JACKET.
