The changing patterns of houses, buildings, streets, parks, pipes and wires, wharves, railroads, highways, and airports reflect changing patterns of the social, political, and economic processes that shape the city. In this book, Sam Bass Warner and Andrew Whittemore map more than three hundred years of the American city through the evolution of urban form. They do this by offering an illustrated history of \"the City\"--a hypothetical city (constructed from the histories of Boston, Philadelphia, and New York) that exemplifies the American city's transformation from village to regional metropolis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an engaging text accompanied by Whittemore's detailed, meticulous drawings, they chart the City's changes. Planning for the future of cities, they remind us, requires an understanding of the forces that shaped the city's past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Bass Warner, Andrew Whittemore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262525321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262525329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.79h x 6.32w x 0.38d","brand":"Sam Bass Warner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056712151295,"sku":"9780262525329","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_514e2fb0-25b6-4c7f-9a73-6b6027b272ef.jpg?v=1685042836","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-urban-form-sam-bass-warner-9780262525329","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
